When it's all rebuilt Hamish use Esso premium fuel as that is ethanol free.

To be on the safe side seal the tank, any of the ethanol safe (it's just slow set epoxy with a colouring in it) kits will do fine as I suspect that ethanol free fuel is going to get even more scarce quite quickly.

Hamish. It's going to be peeing down all Sunday and I'm busy doing some woodwork for Dacs.
The Sunday after, we are meeting for breakfast at The Gin Trap, Ringstead. That's near Hunstanton, so not too far from you. http://www.ukmonster.co.uk/monster/s...398#post569398 Why don't you pop in if you can, and meet the lads? We could follow on afterwards to look at your project if that's convenient for you?

Even the best is E5 now. That's up to 5% Ethanol... So suck it up!

I have contacted Esso and they tell me that it's a legal requirement to have the stickers on all pumps but their Supreme+ fuel is still ethanol free. E5 just means it can contain up to 5% ethanol.

I would definitely soak the pump in fresh fuel (maybe with a dash of injector cleaner mixed in) ovenight. Then turn the ignition on and off repeatedly to see if it's still alive, you should hear a buzz as it primes each time the ignition is switched on if it's not gummed up solid.
IIRC Fuel filter is a little different on plastic tank models, it's a grey plastic unit that attaches to the access plate/pump assembly in the bottom of the tank. Steel tank bikes have a pressed steel filter that's accessed by removing the filler neck. The guys at Moto Rapido will know which one, just tell them you've got a plastic tank model. |

You mentioned earlier about removing the immobilizer? Do you not have the original keys (red or black)? I assume you mean the factory immobilizer that is in the instrument pod. It can be done apparently but is not straightforward and could be expensive. I'm sure there are some on here who run non standard clocks that must have done it without requiring a new virgin DP ECU. From what I have been told though a standard ECU re-flash will not be able to do this, its deeper into the ECU.

Re immobiliser; Is it possible to replace the noise source (Horn or hidden beeper?) with a resistor? so the immobiliser thinks it is sounding the alarm, but is in fact mute?
Maybe it could be replaced with a flashing light, which would be less disturbing?

I dont think so Gaz. The sensor in the ignition barrel reads the chip in the key and if the code matches what has been programmed into the ecu it will de-activate the immobilzer otherwise the ecu will be dead. You need the red key to be able the re-program it to accept new keys or if you replace the ecu or clocks. DP ecu comes with that switched off if you get a new one but most people will probably program them to the keys for the bike.

removing immobiliser is an ecu flashing operation, removing a 3rd party alarm is a rewiring job,
