Lucky Phil Posted October 27 Posted October 27 (edited) 1 hour ago, Paul6506 said: Lucky Phil... Yes, pump is in the tank. Tank is always kept full when not riding. Always ethanol free gas. Did you buy a complete fuel pump unit or just the electric motor? Any links would be appreciated. Also...any tips,tricks doing this pump change? Of course I have a full tank of fuel to deal with. 😒 You can buy just the pump motor assy in a kit. Some kits come with filter and concertina hose. Simple to change with the exception of the plastic concertina hose and it's 1 time clamp. The hose is quite stiff and normal injector hose can be used but it's a tight location. https://www.mgcycle.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=5389 Phil Edited October 27 by Lucky Phil 1 1

It does matter ! And that is a good price on the pump assy. Edited October 27 by gstallons more info 2 1
Lucky Phil Posted October 27 Posted October 27 Yes submersable hose but this is what you really need as normal 5/16 injector hose doesn't like to bend as sharply as is required in the space available. You can buy the pump off these guys as well. Ducati pumps are the same as are many others. https://www.euromotoelectrics.com/product-p/fp-hosekit.htm 3

Speedfrog Posted October 27 Posted October 27 (edited) 2 hours ago, docc said: Since you are pulling electrical connections apart, it is good medicine to apply Caig® DeOxit to all exposed connections before reconnecting. I use their "Gold" product. DeOxit Gold is really meant to treat “gold plated” connectors, as found in HiFi and other high end audio/video hardware. A bit overkill for our application on 20+ year old machines. The regular DeOxit works just fine for that. In fact, the regular DeOxit has 20% deoxidizing action were the Gold only has 0.5% deoxidizing action . . . Make your choice Edited October 27 by Speedfrog Added info 4

Paul6506 Posted November 1 Author Posted November 1 Ordered 5 relays from Pickers... Starting there.... I just wanted to thank everyone who gave me inputs and suggestions on my Guzzi's fuel pump issue. As it turned out it was only a bad relay. The fact that tapping on the bottom of the fuel pump mounting plate seemed to activate the pump was just a total coincidence. The relay was working sporadically. I appreciate the groups knowledge and willingness to share it. I did order a new internal fuel pump and filter. It will be put away as spares. 2
