Member Contributer gll429 Posted September 20, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted September 20, 2014 oh just 2 days ago.. well then.. water in the gas? too much cleaner? one weird thing.. i once ran out of gas and i had a bottle of fuel treatment cleaner.. so i just ran the bike on straight cleaner.. it got me 3 miles to the gas station.. then the bike was WEIRD for a day.. but ran great after that 1 day. 2 days later i noticed black soot.. alot of it in my pipe.. i am guessing the straight cleaner decarboned my head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFox Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 So I'll top off (I have 120 miles on this tank already) then see if that resolves my issue... THEN start worrying about carbs and parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabio222 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Have you tried just replacing the contact points on the inside of the pump? They're normally the failure point on oem pumps and are easy to replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFox Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I hadn't. If they need replacing, where would I buy them? Sent from the Future via Google Skynet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer gll429 Posted September 21, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted September 21, 2014 by pass your pump 1st before you art messing with it.. unplug the wires to the pump and just add a fuel filter in place of the pump and go for a ride... if your still stumbling after 4500 its not the pump.

PFox Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I already have an extra filter in place, but I'll bypass tomorrow before going to work. Between 4.5 and 5.5k it feels like it surges been normal power and half power, above that it's just a whole lot of extra noise and not a lot of power, no surging. Under 4500 seems reasonably stable, idle is solid. At idle the pump clicks like a mad penman. Clicky clicky clicky... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFox Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I'm going to have to open up the carbs, I think. With a full tank of fuel and a bypassed pump opening the petcock results in fuel pouring out of the carburetor assembly. I'm guessing I have a stuck float at a minimum. Possibly more. Sigh...
