Aaaaaarrrrrrggghhhh!!!!!
Made it To Kahta (Nemrut Dagi) no prob, then on to Diyabakir. Next day filled up after 70k's, 80k's later the bike died. I noticed there was no fuel in the first fuel filter so gave the tanks a few bangs and it eventually trickled down and I went for another 40 k's no prob. Then it died again, we waited, got going again and made it to Tatvan. I pulled it all appart again, changed the first filter, cleaned out the oil/fuel on the vacuum side of the pump membrane and checked (as much as I could) the fuel tap. I don't have the map holder over the tank cap anymore (but there are 2 breathers built into the tank which are both clear, so...). Today we were going well, I went onto reserve, then 30k's later it died (just after a check point!) Filled up, then filled up again after 60k's (so as to keep the tank fullish) then made it the 90k's to Doggy Biscuit no problem (great road by the way). So in my mind it must be the bloody pump(?) I now have 2 of them so will try to keep the fuel level up at all times and I am also going to try to move the vacuum hose onto the front cylinder. How could this liquid (which looks like caremalised fuel!) make it into the vacuum side of the membrane?
We're heading into Iran tomorrow so I'm hoping like anything I can get this sorted.
Sorry to bore you with all this but if anyone has any further suggestions (nice ones that is!) please let me know!
Pete
