TNRabbit Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 In the middle of replacing my Fuel Pressure Regulator (FPR) & I'm stuck. Can't get it off with the throttle body on, & I'm wondering if any one has figured out a way to replace it without removing the fuel rail. I had discovered a way to do this on other vehicles, but it doesn't look possible here as the starter valve body is in the way: Also, have any other unfortunate b@st@rds broken off the nipple of the little thingy that opens the flapper? Fixes? Removed this PITA while I was in there: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNRabbit Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 Epoxied the broken nipple back on; time will tell if it will hold or not. If you find that part, I'm still interested. The epoxy package says "not recommended for applications over 200 degrees"..... I took OUT the idle adjustment screw & bent the fuel nipple on the FPR down a little & was able to thread the new one on. Crisis averted~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNRabbit Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 Epoxy held long enough for me to get the airbox back in the bike then broke off again~ All back together, reinstalled my D&D slip-on pipe. LOUD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Cogswell Posted June 4, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted June 4, 2014 If you can find a brass barb small enough to fit the broken off fitting you could probably thread it in and re-attach the vacuum hose and have a stronger connection than with epoxy. The opening might need to be drilled out a bit to accept the threads. I've seen these in 1/8" size - not sure if they make them any smaller.

Veefer800Canuck Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Ditch the flapper altogether. Take the actuator and flapper door right out, and plug the hoses. Crisis averted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
