Hi,
I took my 1991 kat (600) out for an MOT today, first time I've properly ridden it, and it started fine, after about a mile it started to run a bit rough, and stall.
bit further on it totally died, and wouldn't restart.
If i did with full throttle it would get to about 1k rpm and die.
I pushed to MOT station, had test (failed on back break pads)
the engine had cooled down, it started up great, and i started to ride home, after about 2 miles it did the same thing.
I let it cool down again, and it would start up, and i got about another mile.
got it home in the end.
The MOT mechanic, biker mate, and biker uncle reckon it's not the fuel, as the problem only start when the engine is hot.
They are thinking about the lines of coil or rectifier.
Any thoughts????
please help, i want to have this running and back down to the MOT station in less than 2 weeks.
am gonna go grab my haynes manual now as well
