Fuel pump quits under load
the fuel pump works if i unhook it and theres no fuel packed in the lines but as soon as it fills up the fuel pump will quit....
my question is does anyone know of a way to fix it |
anybody know what the wires are that go to the bottom of the tank? Do i need them hooked up for the pump to run?:icon_shrug:
|
the 2 wires are for your low fuel light and no there not need for the fuel pump to run

thank you sir |
I ran my F4 all summer without a fuel pump, you notice on very low gas but other than that couldn't tell the difference.

well i guess its all good now.....it either fixed itself or my battery was just too low at the time when i was messing with it....didnt cross my mind bcuz the bike started great....
long story short i was gonna use the battery for the gs550 i was building so the battery was on a charger a few times when i was starting the gs550 so it proly got the juice back it needs to run everything good |

on gravity feed? you proly got a line kinked and dont know it....yesterday i bolted the tank back on so i could get the seat on and get a learning sesh goin for my gal....well didnt know it but my line was kinked so it didnt let any fuel pass....after i road for a minute she took it up and down the driveway without a hitch, but later i went back out to let my dad hear it for the first time and it wouldnt run off idle...i went inside to just chill/think and it hit me so i checked and it was kinked fo sho |
be careful when it 'fixes itself'. My fuel pump woul die randomly.. maybe every 400-500 miles and it would die.. eventually it would restart.. usually it is the contacts in the top.. IDODirt (I think that is his name) did a how to you can use to repair the contacts.. but after it happened three times I just went with a new pump.. almost 2000 miles later no more issues... <knock wood>
