All 10- 98 VFR Fuel Pump Frozen Hi Guys, Just a final followup on this. I didn't verify that the new fuel pump actually spun before I put it all together. Fortunately, I hadn't put gas in, so the R&R was easy. The problem was that I was too sloppy…
- 98 VFR Fuel Pump Frozen Hi Rich, Thanks for adding to this thread. My daughter would agree that vinegar is the wonder chemical of the ages. =) What did you mean when you said "Neither of the shop manuals I had contained the 'truth' regarding…
- 98 VFR Fuel Pump Frozen I thought I'd make some remarks on applying the POR-15, in case anyone is interested. I planned poorly, based on the experience I had with the Ducati. The access hole for the fuel pump assembly is too large to seal with…
- 98 VFR Fuel Pump Frozen That doesn't feel right to me. There are plenty of other ways they could have done that that don't involved a brillo pad and a piece of plastic. And I think the brillo pad would tend to hold air/gas vapor rather than…
- 98 VFR Fuel Pump Frozen One more thing I should really add to this thread. The hose from the pump to the fuel filter is no longer made, but you can still get the fuel filter. The problem is that the hose has a 180 degree loop in it, and that…
- 98 VFR Fuel Pump Frozen Hi SCguy, That's actually plausible! And I was thinking about the idea of aiming the hose to the side. It's a tight fit go get the fuel pump assembly in and out, so maybe they decided the diffuser was the easiest…
- 98 VFR Fuel Pump Frozen Hi Jeff, You're probably right. I wonder if I should aim the shaped return hose away from the fuel pump?
- 98 VFR Fuel Pump Frozen Hi SCguy, I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing. There is, indeed, a strainer at the inlet to the fuel pump. It's white, made of some sort of plastic and is a fine mesh. That's not what I'm talking about.…
- 98 VFR Fuel Pump Frozen Hi Jeff, Thanks for the reply. Did you have to replace or clean the injectors? I'm hoping for the best, but I sort of expect to have to pull the thing completely apart to replace them. If I do, I'll be able to replace a…
- 98 VFR Fuel Pump Frozen Due to age and health, I don't ride much anymore. I've got inspections coming up, so I did the yearly start and check routine on the VFR and the Duck. The VFR didn't start, though it cranked easily. So, I checked to…
