ALCON,
As stated in the title I’m working on my 2004 Sportsman 700 efi.
The original issue:
The bike would start, idle smooth press in the throttle and the bike would completely die.
Issue is partially resolved:
1. replaced fuel pump
2. replaced fuel pressure regulator
3. replaced fuel filter
4. replaced spark plugs
5. put some injector cleaner in the tank and let is idle for about two hours
6. disconnected, cleaned and lubed a lot of electrical connections
The bike idles smooth, accelerates hard, HOWEVER.
When accelerating the low beam, high beam and cluster gauge light dims.
The light returns to being bright after a few seconds or when the throttle is released. There is no obvious issues with engine power cutting out when the lights dim.
The only other know issue is the battery is as dead as Jimmy Hoffa, I’ve been jumping the bike with starter pack.
Thoughts?
Suggestions?
I read over AK’s post from a few years ago as well, the information on the fuel pump, regulator, etc. is appreciated.
