Ho everyone. Got a problem. Moved house recently and went to start bike for the move. Headlights are working ignition turns on and it will turn over... however fuel pump seems to have stopped priming.

This is boggling my mind as the fuses seem ok. I have checked the two relays near the battry, and their is corrosion in some of the connectors so i have purchased new connector pins and also new relays. However , how can i check the fuel pump in situ? Any help would be awesome... vfr800 fi 2000 plate (pre vtec, 5th gen.. in blue 😊)

This is from my Clymers, for 5th Gens.How to test the pump and relay.

My experience from the past is that the fuel cut relay fails. I now carry a jumper for just that reason on all my bikes. The tape is for perspective only.
