He suspects one of the modules(I forget the name of it but it costs over $200 to replace so we want to make sure that's the problem before replacing it), but again, even with a heat gun put on it, it didn't die like it did on me in the wild.

...Fuel, compression, spark. These are the basics.<br /><br />If it appears to be heat related, check for either vapor lock (removing the fuel cap will let out a loud hiss, then it'll fire up), or try to cool down the ignition (assuming all-in-the-nosecone module, remove the cover). I've seen several of those Crane Hi-4s crap out (Yo-Adrian's left me stranded in the middle of Ontario when I was trying to deliver his bike to him).<br /><br />Give me a call if you want some help, easier to talk in person.<br /><br />PhilPhilBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04058913250423306720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16617671.post-26428308094532589272011-04-01T06:22:30.552-07:002011-04-01T06:22:30.552-07:00I hope it's an easy fix, too.

Bueller? <br /><br />The bike is on but nobody's home. I don't want to waste another tow trip by thinking it gets fixed, then finding myself stranded again.RedDiablahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06632173887505994233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16617671.post-2925430013653904092011-03-31T12:19:40.906-07:002011-03-31T12:19:40.906-07:00Dear Tara, I love you.
