Hi friends My ducati 996 have a problem today. I cant sleep!!!! The motor start perfect, but around 6000 rpm, cut off... And start again. If the motor is running at 4/5000 rpm, there are not problems. I think in fuel problems, pump.... Filter.... I need your opinion And help!!!!!!!
As usual, could be so many things. A severely neglected fuel filter comes to mind but even moreso - could be a fractured hose within the fuel tank as this is a common problem.
Sometimes loss power, And some times the motor stop, later Sometimes loss power, And some times the motor stop, later i push start, And run ok. Thanksss for your help
When was it last serviced? And did they tighten the crank/flywheel nut? Known issue on the 996 lump and could be expensive if it is that...
I'm afraid there are just so many possibilities, the above posts are a good place to start. Could also be a poor connection on the loom or ecu . If you are mechanically minded then it's worth thaving the fairings off and see if it is anything obvious but if not find yourself a good experienced Ducati mechanic to have a look.
looking and listening with the fuel tank open while revving the engine easily rules out the fractured fuel hose particularly if the tank is nearly empty, if you know what you're listening/looking for.
