Failure of fuel gettin to the bike

[Alex-Corsa]

What a happy end, Alex!

 

I experienced similar problems with the MotoGuzzi V11 fuel pump when I stayed in Singapore.

Obviously these Pierburg pumps can not come along so well with the heat.

 

I got it replaced, and I ordered from my dealer MotoSpezial in Germany.

My report is in German only, sorry (http://35229.rapidforum.com/topic=102475709271), so no need to go there for the reading.

But I also did some engineering while waiting for the shipment from Germany to Singapore (and this toooook quite a while, man!), and I added a few lines about fule pump replacement parts.

 

Goto Bosch Motorsport (http://www.bosch-motorsport.de/content/language1/html/2832.htm),

and I recommend

#580 . 254 044 ...old

#580 . 464 048 ...old

#254 . 464 070 ...new

#580 . 464 070 ...new

'New' means that Bosch has developed a single new, unified standard fuel pump model replacing a few other old models with different plugs or hose connectors.

Thanks a bunch Martin for all your infos

 

Cheers

Congrat's, Alex.

 

There's nothin' quite like finally putting a wooden stake thru the heart of that vampire, eh?

 

 

Just something to ponder. . .

 

Why is it that the first thing that so many seem to think of when they encounter something beyond their understanding with the Guzzi is, "dump it!" -- ?? Would as many have the same reaction if their car did this, even multiple times??

 

Methinks you may've been a mite hasty in your opening post with the D-word, my friend.

 

I'm pleased you were persistent enough to find the problem and solve it. Treat her well and she'll more'n likely continue to reward you beyond expectations.

There is a fine line between humor and seriousness

I am glad that you got it.

Who knows how such a diverse Forum may interpret things, oui?

 

If your tango partner should spike your toe with her heel, should you drop her on her derriere?

 

Mais, non!

 

"If you get tangled up. . . just tango on. . .!!"

Must prepare the Guzzi now for a classic rendition of Malena on a twisting, driving, scenic dance to the sea by first properly warming up her deepest rythmic passions!

 

She will willingly and freely give to me -- and to me alone -- the forbidden secret longings of her soul. . .

Not talking about the partner spiking my toe while tango , talking about my partner pass away from too much passion, she perhaps could not afford having ,while physically interacting with me.

Big difference

Yes. A car is just a tool for getting from A to B with luggage and accoutrements. Any car of mine only has to let me down once in the middle of a journey and it's history. My wife's Fiat Punto stranded her on the M6 this month and it took her 9 hours to get home. Needless to say it has just been chopped in at a loss for a new Hyundai with 5 year warranty.

 

Who needs a broken unreliable tool eh!

Way to sweat those assets, Sir Badknob!

 

Don't know how a 5-year warranty on a new Hyundai will prevent stranding your wife on the M6, but if this should happen, It appears that this makes it time to chop it in at a loss and another new car anyway. . .

 

Say, here's an idea. If you should break down on the M6 with your Guzzi, chain it to something solid, give Alex a call in Andromeda, and he can fly to the UK within a few days, fling you a few farthings for the broken Guzzi, pop in a new fuel pump (or whatever it needs), tour Old Blighty, and Bob's Y'er Uncle.

 

K. Vonnegut, Jr. suggested that unplanned travel arrangements are often unrecognized divine guidance in disguise -- or words somewhere close to that effect, as I recall.

 

EDIT: Here's the exact quote:

 

"Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God."

That's right Ratchet , anyone needs me just drop a call.

I have to say that orders are serviced depending the priority I give
