Hi guys so it turns out it's the petrol pump which causing the problems.

I'm in Droylsden so yeah only down the road.

That's handy to know. I'm located in Manchester, what about you?

It can take a good few minutes for it to start again. As you can tell I'm a bit out of my depth here so I've bit the bullet and took it to the garage. Cheers for all the advice and I'll let you know what the outcome is.

So I checked the terminals, which are all secure. Started the bike up with the choke and soon as revs were ok took it off and the bike was idling ok but still after a few mins just cut out. When I went to restart all the motions were there to start over but the engine wouldn't start and there's a strong smell of fuel.

Cheers for the advice. As soon as this rain lets me I'll check the terminals and then try releasing the choke earlier. Hopefully it's just a combination of me leaving the choke on for too long and a loose connection, which is causing the problems. Someone also mentioned it could be blocked carbs.

Thanks for the reply. I will try taking the choke off earlier. When I said ticking over I mean when I'm pressing in the ignition after it has cut out then all you can hear is clicking. I've not touched the position of the tap, should it be on run?

No it's carbs. What do you mean by prime position?

So it cuts out after about 2 mins on idle with the choke on. Tbh I haven't tried taking the choke off sooner. When it cuts out if I go to start the bike again, it doesn't actually start over. I have read things about it being the petrol pump, is there away to check if this is the problem. Apologies as you probably can tell I'm new to bikes.

Hi All, My cbr600f seems to be having trouble getting fuel and I'm struggling to find out the reason. I put the choke on start the bike up which starts up fine. Within 2 mins the revs start to drop and cuts out. I go to start the bike up again and it just ticks over. It seems like the fuel isn't getting through, anyone got any ideas or have experienced this? Cheers Phill
