Hey you guys, my name is Arie and I'm from Israel - but I will be speaking in the name of the entire, very small but very proud Israeli Enfield community
We’ve been maintaining our rides for a while with pretty much what we had, and managing various small time problems, but recently we’ve been having a problem we can't really get a hold on to.. Here's how it goes:
Three G5 models, one with 15k kms, one with 21k and one with 7k (mine). Often when idling and giving a little bit of gas, the ignition is not quite smooth (the engine sometimes chokes and sometimes jumps in RPM), and on high RPM when revving the engine backfires often happen. When idling completely, the engine eventually chokes downs and stalls, and you just gotta give it some gas from time to time so it won't stall. I tried to address this by increasing the idle RPM, but it still keeps stalling, although considerably less.
Most often this happens during a city ride or short trips between towns. On long highway rides this problem does not appear unless you pass the 4000-5000 RPM threshold.
What have we done so far?
1. Plug cap replaced (it was made from a conductive material and we suspected that it absorbed some of the ignition).
2. Fuel Injector replaced.
3. ECU replaced.
Next on the list are the ignition coil and the current rectifier. Tried to look for a flaw in the wiring, maybe a malfunction of some sort with the fuel pump - so far nothing helped.
We would so much appreciate any ideas, and kudos again from Israel
