Clicking noise from coil??

Post by neilwilson »

Hi guys, ive got a bit of a concern with my 29. i start her up fine, idles fine and revs fine. Concern is i can hear an intermittant click sound from what sounds like the L/H coil? it only clicks every now and then but its doing my head in! has anyone had anything similar?

yup. its called your fuel pump!
it clicks when it needs to feed ur carbs with fuel. it sits near/just under the coils.

no it doesnt...it sits underneath your carbs...in fact its closer to the seat than it is the coils, and mine doesnt click.
