Posted October 27, 20177 yr Hi I'm Paddy, I have a Diversion XJ600S from 1998 (R reg) a week ago it broke down as if it had run out of fuel, slowly running out of revs and effort. It has compression of 150psi on each cylinder, a new fuel pump that is connected right, lovely bright blue sparks from new plugs, twice cleaned carbs and when I fire her by pouring fuel straight into the carbs does a lovely clean and even sounding roar, then dies! All fuses ok, all electrical connections ok. New yellow top battery. Fuel tank cleaned out and all filters checked. It has had a mayonnaise winter problem before but always runs fine after cleaning out its lines. Any ideas folks? I'm running out of them! Cheers.
October 27, 20177 yr Hi paddy,  if shes running with a sqiirt of fuel in the carbs, then its a fuel delivery problem, , is there a fuel tap - cock,  pull the pipes ,and let it run,  also ,the fuel cap breather , leave the cap open, Â
