I have a 98 K1100LT with a starting problem. It will not fire at all with the choke on or accelerator opened. It will only fire on no. 1 and 2 cylinders for a few beats then stop. I then have to repeat this for about 7 or 8 times before no. 4 kicks in and then sometimes only when aided by keeping the starter going. It then stops when the accelerator is opened. When no. 3 kicks in eventually it will tick over but still unevenly for a short while, then runs evenly and only then can I accelerate. For the rest of the day it will run well and start ok. But the next morning it will be the same.
It has new plugs, new leads, can hear the pump, plugs the right colour, tappets checked, Wynn’s system cleaner put in tank. The symptoms rule out coils and hall effect sensor. I bought the bike with 16,500 miles on it. It now has 124,780. I have serviced it myself and it runs well apart from this starting problems. Can anybody help?
