I have an 87k75c with 98k. Recently when I start the bike it runs rough for several minutes. If I try to put any load on the bike other than idle, such as putting it into first and trying to drive, it stalls out the engine. After about 2 min. or so I hear a small humming noise come from the tank, I assume it is the fuel pump. When I hear this noise the bike runs great.
I figure this means my fuel pump is about to give up?
I searched this forum for 'fuel' and read several of the other post. Some seemed like good leads, such as checking around the pump for the gummy seal. I checked, it appears in good shape. I checked for air leaks caused by bad hoses. DidnÔÇÖt find anything alarming, most pieces were changed out at 75K about 2 years ago.
I live in Houston and haven't been riding much over the summer. Too dang hot/humid for me. I ride almost daily though when the daily high drops below 90 sometime in Sept. So, the bike sat most of the summer except a few short weekend trips to local destinations. Is it possible all the sitting this summer caused something to gunk up my fuel system?
Any advice would be great. Thanks.
