LOL. That's OK.

 

hello. Im having similar issues. just put in a new fuel pump. Tried to start the bike and there was a loud clicking/popping sound by the fuel pump. I figured I had the wires backwards, so i reversed them and tried to start the bike. It blew a fuse immediately.

Any advice on that? Did I have the wires right the first time?

 

no not really, sorry. I haven't even touched this bike in months, just got too busy.

if you heard a pop I would take the pump off, use a voltmeter and see if the wires are getting power when you turn the ignition on. Sounds like you may have some exposed wire somewhere though, especially if it popped a fuse.

 

Pump will make some noise especially if it's dry. Is it an OEM or aftermarket pump? The aftermarket pumps are crap. They have been known to start fires. If that's what you have get a real one.
