ok so ive been running my hurricane with no fuel pump at all for a while and in high gear i cant seem to get enough fuel and it bogs intermittently.
i bit the bullet and spent 50 bucks on a universal fuel pump from an autoparts store, rated at 2-3.5 psi.

installed it and started it.
it starts running all sh*ttily and was smoking out the exhaust,
so im assuming its running really rich.

so im pretty pissed about the 50 bucks i wont be getting back.

any advice from anyone would be greatly apreciated.

thanks.

 

Well, I'm thinking that it's either ebay, or an additional $140 on an OEM fuel pump.

 

yeah im coming to terms with that.
curious though why is this happening? how would this be different to the factory pump.
i feel like if i spend another 130 on a factory one its going to do the same thing.

 

the smoke was white, and i have already cleaned my carbs. after i cleaned them the bike runs almost perfect. there is no lag in power until im in about 5th or 6th gear and ive sucked up all the fuel in the bowls.

 

thank you man. im going to get a new stock pump. cheapctcleparts.com has them for $136.18 before tax and shipping.
do you recommend buying used on ebay? seems like a shot in the dark as far as how well it will function. and there not selling for much less than a new one. cheapest one i found was like 120 or sometihng.

does anyone know of a site selling new jdm parts for cheaper than cheapcycleparts?
