Re: Stalling weirdness

Thx for the "where to look" directions all,
I've got a weekend workshop setup to upgrade the brakes in the coming weeks so whilst I'm there, I'll double check the electrickery.

Re: Stalling weirdness

Turning the idle up to 3K worked a treat :wink: and meant I could just roll off the clutch to start but started hampering the tank range - dropped it back to 1300 and it appears to have eliminated the glitches.

For about 3mths now, cruising along suburbia (60kph) with a neutral accelerator the engine can cut out momentarily (by the time I look do...
