I have a 87 600, and im now on like my 4th forum searching for a replacement fuel pump... is there a "popular" rout to take in this situation?

 

Ive heard of people using a fuel pump from an 83 honda accord because it matches all the specs of the original. If you search you could probably find the thread for more info but downside is its larger so you have to get creative mounting it.

 

very interesting 8) I'll look into it. thanks!!

well after a little bit of research I found the thread that you here talking about, as well as the fuel pump used. I went down and ordered it from autozone, it will be in tomorrow morning 8)
that's one thing off the list lol

 

I don't have a fuel pump on my 87.......... I've read it's somewhat common not to.. ???????

 

without the pump on mine it idles all day long, but when your riding it in town it would sputter and die about 10 minutes in. while on the highway it seems okay, as long as your revs say over like 4k lol. they all had fuel pumps from the factory even on the 250rr

 

Hmmmm I haven't had anything like that happen. I also read it was to help with higher rpm's which would make since. Not idle which would seem to be easily capable of being gravity fed.

 

believe half of what you see, and none of what you hear lol

 

The pump would be used in order to keep the float bowls filled when gravity couldn't I would think. Which would be under high rpms. Idle would not need a fuel pump. You would have a different problem like the slow jets being dirty or something like that if it would die in town. I live downtown and a majority of my riding is in town to get to school and it doesn't sputter or die. Maybe the carbs needed to be synced :/ I'm not saying your wrong, just thinking logically about why it is there...
