I'm not sure what pressure mine was at during the issue but it couldn't maintain pressure anyways. I had no way of testing at home, they did it while it was in the shop. That's how they found the issue
Mate it's running like a dream again. The ultrasonic clean broke the regulator free. Otherwise you could just replace it. Something so simple after trying to diagnose for so long. It was done in the shop and all they charged was a couple hours of labour, nothing new required in my case.
It's not the mushroom on the rail its part of the sender unit. Another easy to tell is that if the fuel line is disconnected it will have constant fuel flow due to being stuck open not just a dribble like standard.

Sent it into the shop because I was limited with what else I could do. Ran perfectly fine on starting fluid. Turns out the diaphragm in the fuel pressure regulator was stuck open so couldn't maintain fuel pressure. Was removed and put in an ultrasonic cleaner a bunch of times. Afterwards...
Tested both of them with no issue found. Tried running on starting fluid and it ran fine. Found that the diaphragm in the fuel pressure regulator was stuck open, so it couldn't maintain fuel pressure besides a kick every now any then after a bunch of priming. part is in the ultrasonic cleaner...
Definitely not saying that isn't the case but would it really cause it to instantly stall just by using any of the other controls. Instead of just misfiring or bogging down?
The tank was rooted. Rust galore from sitting around for the 3 years before I got it. The pump worked fine beforehand but I did a refurb and rust treatment on the tank so did a pump kit while I was in there. Next step can be pulling off the rail and cleaning it out in case anything made it's...
It's an after market unit from a reputable shop not Chinese junk. It has plenty of flow from the tank to the rail, beyond that I can't test currently or see. I had pulsed and cleaned the injectors while they were out so they were working. Unless there is in issue in the rail...?
I don't have the equipment needed but I can get it, I wouldn't have thought that would have been an issue with the brand new fuel pump that is only 200 kms old and it rode great until this issue
It will only idle in neutral for 20-30 seconds before stalling out, as soon as you touch the clutch or try and start it and gear it doesn't run. Definitely not rideable. And touching the throttle stalls it aswell
There wasn't an issue before. It won't idle in gear with the clutch in for more than a couple seconds same as in neutral putting it into gear it stalls straight away.
It will only do the 20 to 30 second idle if it's in neutral and untouched
Latest update: it has sat for a month, didn't have any spare time for it.
Battery is supposed to have 260 cranking amps. It had 135. Replaced battery. Still nothing. It surely can't be ignition or fuel because it's running now for about 20secs at a time
As soon as you touch the throttle though...
I'd say the battery is a bit down from continuous start efforts after testing a bunch of different things. Charged up and I also clean those switch contacts and hopefully it makes a difference. Thanks mate
I had read on one of the forums that when scanning through diagnostic mode that the fuel pump should be unplugged. That would be why no power on that code. Reconnected 11.5-11.6
Would I be best to get it scanned with a genuine diagnostic tool to find out what the history is?
It was stored outside but undercover before I got it, now it is in the garage. It has been raining on a couple of times while I've been at work but nothing too extreme.
Thanks mate, fuel pump primes. Engine light while cranking but when it fires it goes away. I can't say I had noticed whether it did that before or not.
I wrote all of the numbers down from diag mode but not sure what codes have blown or if some are reference numbers.

Hey guys
23,000kms.
A bit of a long story in a short time. Was having issues with fuel delivery from a blockage of rust in the fuel filter and pump. Replaced both and treated the tank. Ran great for 190kms. Next day went to start it, no luck. Horrible idle and running rich. Any twist of the...
