83 VF100F FUEP PUMP LEAKING

[Nitrojr 0]

I HAVE BEEN REBUILDING MY 83 VF1000F AND GOT IT RUNNING BUT THE FUEL PUMP STARTED LEAKING. I TOOK IT APART AND IT SEAMS TO BE THE DIAPHRAGM. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO REPAIR IT, CAN U GET PARTS FOR THE PUMP? CANT FIND A NEW PUMP.

no repair parts available except 'lectricakl contacts.

 

same pump used on many different models from many manufacturers over many years, so see if you can find a used one.

 

you'll be sorry if you get a cheap Chinese copy.😣

I might be mistaken, but it's a Mitsubishi item. Try bringing it to a dealer to match.

 

BTW-- these pumps sometimes have notoriously short points life in KTM 950s (damhik lol) and folks in the Orange community usually replace the points with a Mosfet kit from a fellow in Greece called Dr. Bean. Something to keep in mind if the points go bad. Works great: I used them in my 950A, 950SM, and 950SE as well as some friends' bikes. You can also get replacement points from Amazon, but the Bean kit is only a few bucks more and it's essentially a permanent fix.
