Zongshen RX3 : Unexpected Dead Engine in a deep forest tour

[artur94]

Check engine codes ther explained in this forum somwer how to do this.
Swich ON ignition and kill swich ON wait 1 minute and cunt the blinks of the red engine synbol on the dash.

Ther should be time gaps between blinks for example my worst one and is coming back to me is folt :

P0505

Idle Control System

Idle Speed Control Error

Wich is blinking only numbers for example 0 is 10 blinks 5 is 5 blinks 3 is 3 blinks

P0505 = xxxxxxxxxx xxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxx

If ther is other foult the time gap is bet longer.

Have a pen and paper ready.

I am sending you the link wher all the folts explained
Good luck

@pete @artur94 @rjmorel @Jay In Milpitas @Biker_Andy @Sullybiker @Adjuster @willy dog

Thank you guys.... I used to read out all your messages and translate em to technician and then we both would get our heads down under the tank and trouble shoot...

Finally we successfully fired it up.. and now she is healthy and fine ready to roll!

so final Diagnosis was that not only Fuel Pump went bad (due to reason still no sure .. all we found was a slimy liquid blackish liquid inside tank and in fuel lines and pump... it was the same slime which clogged the injector as well... so probably criminal is slime so far..

break through happened when I followed @pete advice that we should plug out the injector and self start to crank up and see if mist comes out of injector while it is earthed with chasis even though I think it had two wires already.. there was now mist no spray..

so we took it to motorcar electrician he said he will get it fixed for us in few minutes he used injector cleaner spray (the spray can has a title throttle body cleaner though) he had and then blew dry it then checked it with some voltmeter and asked me to go try it as according to him its cracking and would work now for sure...

it was hard to get it out and even harder for them mechanic who was doing it all i was his wing man . sort of.. lol so tested it before assembling this time it sprayed like a a deodorant can.. and on first self bike started with huge blow of black..

Very good!!!!!!

It is a mystery where the slime came from and how it got in the tank. These problems are not common and why it is best to always stay with engine basics.

1. Compression.
2. Air (clean and a lot).
3. Fuel (also clean and a lot).
4. Spark.

Wishing you many kilometers of smiles.

That's a relief

Happy motoring

Wondering if the black sludge came from one of the places you bought gas from. Grudge from bottom of their tanks? rj

thanks guys...


yes thats what my team mates think as well as the "Very" last refuling station was a remote town where the petrol was only available in large barrels with hand pump and the price was 20% higher then normal ..

the hand pump hose is dipped deep down in the barrel.. and it rained heavily a day back.. in the evening before leaving i topped up from there as I new next two days there would be no feul...

and I started noticing "no bzzzz" the very next morning...


By the way I am keeping still a close eye on fuel pump "cutout"/"relay" which is under the pillion seat... I noticed it gets warm (kind of hot) in minute of a more... does not progress to complete melt down or over heat but it stays "quite" hot.... is that usual ?

Any one ever noticed that ? I still have few weeks of summer thinking to go south... but I want to make sure to come back on two wheels thats why asking... if its some thing to worry about or not..

I am talking about this thing =

went for first ever ride after the new fixes... the tour went flawless... I am glad its back...
