Dave77459 Posted June 15, 2011 Share #2 Posted June 15, 2011 Are you talking about the electrical connector? My Mr. Gasket came with bare wires. I cut off the old electrical connector and spliced them in. I note that the new Mr. Gasket pump had a different configuration than the old. The old one was pretty easy to make work, but the new one had two fixed nipples, if I recall correctly. Have fun! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OB-1 Posted June 15, 2011 Share #6 Posted June 15, 2011 thanks Dave i havnt bought it yet picking it up friday i just assumed it had a plug on it. do you know what color wire goes to which side? I'm not Dave, but I just did this a week or so ago on my 06 RSV. The blue wire should be spliced to the red wire and black to black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OB-1 Posted June 15, 2011 Share #7 Posted June 15, 2011 You'll also need a 90 and 45 degree brass fittings and a barbed fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naked Rider Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share #8 Posted June 15, 2011 OB1 mine to is a 06 you said a 90 and a 45 do i connect them with a new rubber gas line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OB-1 Posted June 15, 2011 Share #9 Posted June 15, 2011 Ideally, you need a barbed union to extend the formed fuel hose from the fuel filter to the pump intake. The pump intake is where you'll use the the brass fittings. I didn't have a barbed union so I relocated my fuel filter and used a few inches of "new" fuel hose. This made putting the side cover back on very difficult which is why I recommend the barbed union. Here's a link to a post made by "Ponch" that has nice photos. These photos were invaluable to me: http://venturerider.org/forum/showth...ump#post381479 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all you can find is the dual nippled pump, most auto supply stores sell 90° rubber ends you can splice to the fuel line extention to accomplish the same thing.
