Which sensors are external of the engine, that might stop it from running.
None will stop it from running per se. Some will throw up error codes like the wheel censors. others could cause issues if they are not orientated correctly like the accelerometers then there are the Lambda sensors if you are using an alternative exhaust system etc.
If they can’t be disabled I’d say you’d need to know some details of the sensors to simulate them perhaps.
Today after flushing the fuel tank and getting the treatment stuff out there is still more crap coming out, it has now got the Tardis tank name, fucking thing!!
Honestly, i've lost count how many bikes i've owned over the years but the Enfield is a fucking nightmare, it just constantly fights me, i rekon it's fucking cursed!!
The thing is when i get another tank all this will go away, i can't fault much else, i don't care it's slow and weighs a ton but when the sun comes out with my half face lid and shades on it's bloody marvelous.
Anyway, i had some fuel pipe that was long enough to get the external fuel fillter in a good position.
Right did that, fuel in tank, fire it up fuel was going everywhere, i couldn't work out were from so i just left the fuel pipe from tank to injector and i will do the filter later. I go out on the bike and after just over three miles it cuts out, i look down and the fucking fuel pipe had split and was chucking fuel all over my leg, turned it off parked up and here we go again
!! Gave my son a ring and by chance he's off work today but in the middle of doing some things for his grandmother so i said i will meet him at the flat, ok. I had to walk back and it was bloody warm today, luckily i know all the short cuts as this area is were i grew up, i cut off about a mile through the old woods and a housing estate
, by the time i got to the garage i was fucking fucked and in pain so i asked my son to just pick me up at the flat.
So i got the original fuel pipe and screwdriver and son picks me up and takes me back to the bike, say goodbye and fit the fuel pipe, ignition on and she fires up, happy daze, so i went for a ride but not at my usual ring it's fucking neck style and she was all good, i will be a lot more confident when i get the filter set up, i'm getting some new fuel pipe tomorrow, proper good stuff!!
Anyway i'm fucked but drinking beer and relaxing, what a day!!
When i got home i had some fun sticker bombing the fuel tank, i didn't realise how many stickers i have!!

Did you put the stickers on your hammer first and then "BAM" them into position?Today after flushing the fuel tank and getting the treatment stuff out there is still more crap coming out, it has now got the Tardis tank name, fucking thing!!

You should have phoned perry for advice
Wheel sensors feed into the abs & bbs not the ECU as do any accelerometers (dss) and the IMU. Mind you the bbs speaks with the ECU telling it to cut torque, that’s how all the rider aids work. Might it not be easier to get a simpler ECU off a pre 2012 Ducati and its matching loom? Something that only needs air temp, engine temp, air pressure, TPS?
Or, have a look at some of Tony Lloyd’s work where he strips the bike back and installs carbs.
Acronym heaven Paul!!
WTAF!!WTF
See you next Tuesday?CTFD!!
That is precisely the sort of help that I was looking for, thank you.
Today i went out on the Enfield but not for long, it was losing power and i knew what was coming so went home.!! I give up, i just need a clean on the inside fuel tank, mine is just fucked and there is still paint coming out off it, i'm done!! Anyway out with the 996 for a ride, realy nice day today but it's quite windy, it's meant to be even better tomorrow. While at Salisbury bike park i got chatting to a guy with a Triumph Tiger trial, apparently there was a short run on them so are quite rare. I went to Halfords for some fuel pipe that was just over 3 quid for the Enfield to set up an external fuel filter but i know it will just do the same!! There is that bike jumble Sunday that i was going to go too but as ever that one day in the UK you want to go to an event it fucking rains, thunderstorms Sunday apparently, what a shit show.
This is the Triumph.

I’ve got a Tiger 750, it’s on my ramp, been there for a couple of years, bought it in the second lockdown,Today i went out on the Enfield but not for long, it was losing power and i knew what was coming so went home.!!

, for sommat to do and ‘cos I’ve never had an old British bike, but I can’t get excited by it.When you buy your petrol filter, buy two or three, ‘cos if your tanks as bad as it seems, the first won’t last long and carrying a spare in your Belstaff pocket (if you’ve go one, if not it’s only a matter of time) will save a ton of grief…
My Enfield tank is the tank that keeps on giving me a hard time, when i get back on my feet in the dosh department all i need is a fresh clean tank then job done!! It could be worse i could of hit mine with a hammer!!I’ve got a Tiger 750, it’s on my ramp, been there for a couple of years, bought it in the second lockdown,

Surely no one loses it that badly!My Enfield tank is the tank that keeps on giving me a hard time, when i get back on my feet in the dosh department all i need is a fresh clean tank then job done!! It could be worse i could of hit mine with a hammer!!
Hold my beer!
That could be quite rude
Well, I have my hopes up!That could be quite rude
Hitting a tank with an itsy bitsy hammer is for boys, many moons ago, I had a 77 gt250, which unbeknown to me, had a bent crank, I was only an apprentice then so a wee bit green, I would set the points and time her up, only for her to run for a few seconds and cut out, I had been at it most of the morning, quickly losing my temper, in a fit of rage, I punched the tank, making a large dent, that set me off, next I punched the garage window putting my hand through it, cutting my knuckles, so blood pouring from my hand, I picked up a bit of steel bar and smashed the bejesus out of the points and the casing and the crank end.
Had to work a shit load of Saturday mornings to pay for the damage. I still have the scars on my right hand to remind of that one.
I recall having to loosen up the radiator on the 999 (replacing the forks that got bent in a crash). The last screw, attached to a tab that was part of the crankcase, wouldn't budge. I was out of penetrating oil and didn't possess a blow lamp so I thought, "Give her a couple of taps on the screwdriver with a hammer to break the seal".
Yep. Broke off the tab. Realisation, then rage. I turned around and threw the screwdriver across the garage where it lodged blade-first in a cardboard box with lots of carbon fibre and plastic spares for the 999 were stored.
Not sure what I did then, it's kind of a blank.

Probably a stupid question, but could that be what's casing Wayne's bike to cut out and not the fuel supply?
