Sportbikes / Bike not starting after cutting out
« on: July 02, 2011, 01:30:27 AM »
Dear all
After getting my bike running i was on the motorway where i heard squealing noise coming from the engine.
I pulled over to check nd it seemed ok then after 5 miles the bike cut out again as if something had popped in the engine. I have since looked at the moving parts and everything seems to be moving when cranking over. There is plenty spark and no problems with fuel and there is plenty compression.
When turning over on the starter it seems to be turning too fast although it wont start. The oil filter has been cleaned out and there was some metal debris but none that would acount for a major failure of any component.
Any ideas
