There are no points on an F4. And they're certainly not in the fuel.

Me thinks that he meant the contacts, (points) on his fuel pump.
I hope I'm wrong though would be kinda fun to watch, see Seb's pic.

Can you post a pic of it?

What do you think is causing the contacts to get gummed up to where the pump stops working?


But, it's still a carb'd bike. So, it's a low pressure fuel pump (3-5psi). This ensures at WOT at the track, you won't experience fuel starvation.

But it shouldn't cause the bike to die under normal operation.... When it dies, loosen one of the bowls on the carb. If it's dry, you ran out of gas, that's the issue. If fuel pours out, your problem lies elsewhere.
