Hello all. Does anyone know of a replacement sensor that will work instead of the Ducati sensor. The one that sits in the generator cover for crank timing? Also, my fuel pump in running but the bike won’t start. The tank was drained over winter and since refilling with fresh fuel won’t start. Could there be an airlock? Many thanks. Hursty
What is the problem with your sensor? Obviously if the crank sensor is faulty? Then you will have no spark so the fuel system may well be fine? Best to whip out a spark plug and check things there first!

If a simple problem then first checks to confirm you have "fuel and sparks":- Check to see if you have fuel getting to combustion chamber (sparkplugs will tell you this if you remove immediately after attempting to start(wet/smell of fuel)). Use a "slave" known-good sparkplug connected up to front pluglead and rest on cylinder head or good earth, and then attempt to start to confirm "sparking".
