Fuel Pump

[Annette]

Well the diagnosis on my 1150GS is that the fuel pump has broken. Now, whoever could think of putting the fuel pump inside the petrol tank, thus making a replacement really expensive.

However, once again, thanks to Motorworks who are supplying a second hand one.

In fact they are sending a fuel pump, side stand switch and gear selector thingy all for less than the price of a new fuel pump. And it will all be here for the weekend. So I should be back on the bike next week.

As it's in bits............again, it's also going to get an oil and spark plug change too, and a new air filter and fuel filter.

So if anyone feels like a ride out and stopping in for a coffee at the weekend to watch (read help out) feel free to drop in.

Then I think I need to see about having the fuel stuff checked as it seems to be running lean.

HI Annette just changed my fuel filter in the tank If you havent got you be-atch (that'll raise an eyebrow) to repair your pump give me a shout as there are some bits of kit you need and it'll only take about an hour to do the job J

Do I detect a road trip coming up

Well the new fuel pump, fuel filter, gear indicator sensor, sidestand switch, plugs and air filter are all now installed................everything seems to be working fine and dandy - just as it should.

Just finished sorting out the rear indicators with Metal Mule shortened stalks so that they fit with the Zegas mounted........

When I can be arsed it'll need an oil change as well. Jeez, engine oil, gearbox oil AND final drive oil............it's all want, want, want, with these tractors 'innit

J - I've obviously got the old fuel pump that I took out of the tank - are they serviceable or do I just bin it - they look like a sealed unit........

[Annette]

Yep all back together and running. Stormforce8 I knew there was a reason I love you

However, it's running quite rough and popping a lot. J, does the chap you recommend sort out fueling issues? If so, I'll give him a ring in the week and see if I can book in.

[Sharribee]

Annette Mike should be able to sort out fueling issues without too much of a problem

Jonathon, J says he doesn't know but he would be willing to give it a bash He thinks it may be a sealed unit but would have to have a look

Glad to hear it's sorted
