2012 KTM 350 SXF FI Light Blinks And Wont Idle

Post by SkipROFABlue1 »

Hey Gems and Gents,

In need of advice...

Like the subject says I got a orange bike that wont idle and the FI light blinks. I checked valves they were in spec.... Is there a inline fuel filter I don't know of? Or a way to tell if the fuel pump is NFG? Any thoughts are welcome.... :cheers: :cheers:

The flashing should be a series of blinks. Count them up, google and you will find the cause of the issue. There is an in line filter in the fuel line disconnect that can cause similar symptoms to a clogged injector.

What does the filter look like? And is there a special way to get it out? I tried to google the amount of blinks but nothing comes up with the right series of blinks. Thank you for the help.....

In the downstream side you will see a white ring. That is the end of the 10 micron (or whatever) filter. It's about 20 mm long and 4.5 mm wide at the end. Use a pick or a drill bit backwards to get it out, don't poke through the screen though.
