Fuel pump points


Recommended Posts

Please watch the video. The repair is real easy and they use the same fuelo pump as ours. Next payday I will get one and keep Mr. Gasket for a spare. Does anyone in the U.S. make a repair kit?

When I replaced my pump, I just bought a Mr Gasket solenoid type pump with 7 - 10 psi at the local auto parts store. If I remember right it cost me $26 and about 2 hours to fit everything in the stock location. That was about 20k miles ago and still working fine. I couldn't see using the points style pump and having problems down the road. Plus now it would be a 15 minute swap if needed and not hard to find parts on the road.

Findings by Goose:

 

Fuel Pump - Most external low pressure/low volume fuel pumps should work - stock pump has a 3 PSI rating and costs over $200. Look for a solid state pump sold for old VWs or jeeps. Here are a couple of links for replacement pumps under $50:

Autozone 4-7 PSI NOTE: since this pump is double the pressure of the stock pump, I would not use it unless I could not find any other.

Autozone 2-3 1/2 PSI

JCW 1 1/2-4 PSI

JCW 1 1/2-3 1/2 PSI

Here is the full section from the Alternative Parts post in the tech library. The last paragraph gives you details on the part numbers and specifies the only pump with a positive shutoff.

 

The positive shutoff is not necessary, but I strongly urge anyone who uses a pump that flows gas with the key off to make sure they get in the habit of turning the fuel OFF when the engine is stopped.

General note on available pumps - most (probably all) of these pumps are Facet brand fuel pumps, and the correct Facet part number is 42S (also goes by 40105). Facet has recently replaced their old cube pumps with new Posi-Flo pumps, and the correct part number for the Posi-Flo is 04S (also goes by 60104). Either part number may be preceded by "PRO" or "FEP". Also note that the 40171 pump is the ONLY one that has both a check valve and positive shutoff, so it would be the best choice for use on a motorcycle that does not have an automatic fuel shutoff when the engine is off (such as ours). All of the other pumps allow fuel to flow even when the power is off, so a leaking float valve could lead to engine damage if the petcock is left on.
