Default fuel pump not working right(maybe)

hello again everyone...

my fuel pump finally came in ( FUEL PUMP Honda CBR600 CBR900 893 GAS UNIT ELECTRIC ASSEMBLY | eBay )... thing is it'll only click once or twice when starting and won't start working again until i stop turning the bike over then it just does the same thing... i really don't want to go buy more parts because i'm 2 shy of having it on the road...

any thoughts on what's going on with the pump?

Also, it might be fuel cut off relay. When my pump went out I replaced both pump and relay

Try to connect your pump direct to the battery.

i never found the relay but i was told it needed one when i bought it... the first pump was shot to begin with so i ordered the new one (3 months after i got the bike)

where would the relay be? there's no plastics on it so they'd be a bad reference point lol)

why the hassle franken! and all the money spent for nothing...

you see, the fuel pump will die on you again and again... it's an endless dilemma!

you know, i once spent more than 3 hours pushing my bike ... because of this problem.. and i was like almost crying.... i couldn't take it .... and i swore to never go with the fuel pump again......

so i went gravity feed instead.... check out my vid:

Motorcycle fuel pump to gravity feed - YouTube

one more thing! i love your quote in the end! ride on bro!
and plz keep me updated with your 954 forks

That is not suppose to happen. I tried this many times on my old and new pump. The pump is deffective i guess.
