the oily mess in the intake system of auto engines is why various manufacurers now make air/oil separators for their cars/trucks and the aftermarket has several options to be installed...

Well crap...missed seeing the specs when I was looking in my manual the other day....just went out to garage and slowly reviewed spec sheets and there it was! Flipping pages too fast I suppose. Thanks!

Timely for me too.....I ordered points today and may opt for the Facet, or something similar, later. Over $200 for OEM is a bit too much I think... If you come across the OEM specs post them please....

Good idea...IMHO.

Thanks! I was thinking of electric motor type pump with some sort of impeller... Now the next questions...what are the specs on the OEM pump...psi and GPH...I don't see those listed in the service manual. Has any one done a bench test to determine this? My bike has been sitting for a few months (long story), and when I went to start it up last week, the normal clicking from the fuel pump was not heard when kill switch was turned off and bike would not start....tried the next day and the clicking was there and bike fired up normally after gas got pumped up to carbs. Bike has 88,000 miles and never had a problem like this, so a bit apprehensive of going out for a long ride till I check it out. Thanks again for the extra info !!

So what is causing the points to open and close?

So the "points" is the fuel pump relay?
