I have this odd snag with the Z13, and any ideas would be welcome. The filter sits upright, with fuel delivered from the tank into the top, with the outlet at the bottom into the pump. The problem is that it looks like it's sucking air in to the filter, and I can't work out why. It's bad enough to disrupt flow to the engine at higher throttle openings and cause a slight mis-fire. I've had problems in the past with the tap being blocked with shite, but that looks OK and fuel flows well enough from the tap if I disconnect the filter end. All connections are tight AFAICS. Is there a bleeding procedure for these things? The Kawasaki Book Of Half-truths has no mention of such. -- Wicked Uncle Nigel - Podium Placed Ducati Race Engineer WS* GHPOTHUF#24 APOSTLE#14 DLC#1 COFF#20 BOTAFOT#150 HYPO#0(KoTL) IbW#41 SBS#39 OMF#6 Enfield 500 Curry House Racer "The Basmati Rice Burner", Honda GL1000K2 (On its hols) Kawasaki ZN1300 Voyager "Oh, Oh, It's so big" Suzuki TS250 "The Africa Single" Yamaha GTS1000
Obvious reply - is the filter upside-down? Some of them have arrows indicating the flow direction, in case you didn't know. Si

Which way up is WUN? Don't worry, as of tonight, there are 4 PCs up and running at chez Gyp, but it's OK, there's only one Linux box. Actually if we're counting Linux boxes I guess the Linux broadband router/firewall counts so that's 5. Does the fact that I check eBay on my mobile make it 6..?
You could try measuring the flow-rate, say by measuring how long it takes to drain a litre of fuel, with and without the filter. If there's a significant difference, you could try a bigger filter, or two smaller filters in parallel.
Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Gyp Ummm... Insufficient data. Please ask another question. Got to go see a doctor in the morning. Don't do doctors, don't do mornings. Bad combination. Not sure. Which one has the naked pictures of T?

IIRC the Bling-6 has fool-injection. I'm wondering if there's another filter integral to the system. Perhaps on one of the lower decks, near the engine room?

Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, mb <pats food processor> It gets odder. Fuel flow from the tank is fine, as is the filter, but there's an unhealthy head of air stays in the filter that gets sucked down into the pump. I think I'll try priming the filter to fill it, then connecting the input hose. Fucktifino what's going on. -- Wicked Uncle Nigel - Podium Placed Ducati Race Engineer WS* GHPOTHUF#24 APOSTLE#14 DLC#1 COFF#20 BOTAFOT#150 HYPO#0(KoTL) IbW#41 SBS#39 OMF#6 Enfield 500 Curry House Racer "The Basmati Rice Burner", Honda GL1000K2 (On its hols) Kawasaki ZN1300 Voyager "Oh, Oh, It's so big" Suzuki TS250 "The Africa Single" Yamaha GTS1000

Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Champ I can see large air bubbles being sucked into the outlet at higher throttle settings. Seems to me that they must hit the injectors at some point, no? The mis-fire feels *exactly* like the one that set in when the fuel tank tap was blocked, and it behaves the same way too (back off a bit, then gas it and it's OK). I'll do that. -- Wicked Uncle Nigel - Podium Placed Ducati Race Engineer WS* GHPOTHUF#24 APOSTLE#14 DLC#1 COFF#20 BOTAFOT#150 HYPO#0(KoTL) IbW#41 SBS#39 OMF#6 Enfield 500 Curry House Racer "The Basmati Rice Burner", Honda GL1000K2 (On its hols) Kawasaki ZN1300 Voyager "Oh, Oh, It's so big" Suzuki TS250 "The Africa Single" Yamaha GTS1000
