So I decided to take my bike to a buddys house to chop my exhaust. Got half way there and my bike died. Wouldnt start even with full choke. Put it in the back of the truck and took it to his house. Charged the battery, chopped the exhaust and it ran great. Drove it home then went out with friends. Ran great all night till I was two blocks from my house. Then it died and I got to push it at 2 am. So I checked the fuel pump and it was sparking. Read on here thats bad so I disconnected it and gravity fed it. It starts up great and idles fine but if I snap the throttle then it bogs and dies. If I ease into it then it revs fine. I wanted to know if that is normal with gravity feed? Or am I missing something?

 

I believe if you swap over to gravity feed then you need to go to the f2 petcock? Can't be positive but I'm pretty sure I read it somewhere on a forum. Hopefully someone can confirm this

 

Yesterday afternoon I switched over to gravity feed. I put her up to 9k and about 110 mph with absolutely no problems.

I can snap my throttle no problems at all.

Did it sputter before it died? Or did it just stop immediately?

 

Its fine if I slowly throttle it but if I snap it then it just dies. I noticed that if I turn the idle up to around 3k though then when I snap it it sputters then revs high.

 

i did the fuel pump from autozone lol its massive people say its a bit bigger but its a lot bigger people used to ask if it was NOS lol
it works fine used it for a long while till i got the funds up to get a new pump

 

Do you have fairings on your bike? because my accord pump is pretty much all covered by the fairing

 

What year accord pump did you use? I need to go get one

 

84

 

Yeah I went to advance auto and they dont carry them anymore. The guy behind the desk told me his son has a f3 and that he used a mr gasket #12S. SO I bout it and put it on. I think its flooding out. Its 4-7 psi. Is that what I need?

 

look for aftermarket fuel pump itll b here the pump E8316 is the 1 i used both are big the psi 3.5 - 5 it does work and the size of it makes me feel like itll never go bad ill tr posting a pic for ya
