Fuel pump or fuel line pinched?

Cloner · May 31, 2013

Air, fuel, compression, and spark. These are the elements required to make engines go. You've likely lost item two or four. Spark is easiest to check. You say you have fuel...how do you know? Are you just listening for the pump, or have you seen it leave an injector?

As to their five week nonsense...this is a warranty issue. Put it into their shop and advise them that you're investigating your State's lemon law....most States have one. Often they include a clause for how much time a new vehicle might spend in the possession of your dealer before you can invoke that law based strictly on time. After some amount of time they simply have to reimburse you for the purchase price. Also contact DNA and advise them that of what you've been told. Most customer conscious dealerships will shove warranty work to the front of the line, not the back.

What? Hogwash. It's a mediteranean virus I say and I see it's spreading.

You were approaching some traffic lights, so you were off the gas?

It could be as simple as a bad plug.

In the old days that was really simple (and I was around then - took auto mechanics in high school in the late '60's).

Today there is only one thing that stops a vehicle from starting...the ECU. It controls all the rest. And yes, I know...I'm just having a little fun, but not all that far from the truth.

This has happened to me several times as I approached stop signs. The bike did restart approx 30 sec to 1 minute later.. I agree that this could be a ECU issue. Either way, it happened during the first 1500 miles. There is 3500 miles on it now and hasn't happened since.....
