Thomas Spagnoli: workshop approach for KTM Duke 690 injectors connected allow crank but engine never catches

Before buying anything for KTM Duke 690 injectors connected allow crank but engine never catches, I would build a small test path. The cheapest repair is often the one where you do not replace a good part.

1. Start with model, year, mileage, engine type, recent work and the exact symptom.
2. Separate opinion from measurement: voltage, pressure, compression, plug condition, code history and visual evidence.
3. Make a small checklist and tick it off in order. It is slower for five minutes and faster for the whole repair.
4. When in doubt, return the machine to a known baseline before tuning or modifying.

The best next step is the one that can prove something. A test that only creates another guess is just a more expensive guess.
