#142990 sailrider (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 63 Going Pumpless. 1 Month ago   Since I have everything apart and the Fuel pump off( and I like what it looks like that way , Im thinking of doing the Small Carb mod to the Needle valve seat suggested in the Tech articles . Have any of you removed your fuel pump and just let gravity cake care of it . Noticed my friends old Shovel head Custom is pumpless and it runs like a scared rabbit .

You would have to go with a Mikuni 42 mm I did and love it   Logged     http://s366.photobucket.com/albums/oo105/ultrastar1/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #143003 bmatpt (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 153 Re:Going Pumpless. 1 Month ago   I did just like the tech article states and put in the float needle. It was very easy to do and the bike runs as good as ever. I also vented the fuel cap at the same time. I wished I would have known that one a couple years ago, before I walked out and found my tank imploded.   Logged     Riding and Jeeping is always better than the alternative   The administrator has disabled public write access. #143022 greyphart (User) bad idea+ experience = good judgement Platinum Boarder Posts: 1099 Re:Going Pumpless. 1 Month ago   Pumpless with the cap vented. No problems. Have the stock carb setup (non-ported, stock jets, etc.) though. Runs just fine.

Oh, I did cut the main fuel feed of the petcock by 1/2", and everything runs and works just fine. If I were a high-speed highway runner, or did a lot of WOT riding, I'd probably spring for the bigger needle valve, but since I tried running without that addition first, and experienced no fuel shortage... I'm good to go, sans pump. Oh, and today it hit 58 and sunny here, so I was out... saw a few other riders as well. I was not alone.   Logged     Sig pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #143039 Makcap (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 117 Re:Going Pumpless. 1 Month ago   I did the swap it works great and one less thing to go wrong.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #143041 Cougar (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2821 Re:Going Pumpless. 1 Month ago   sailrider wrote: Since I have everything apart and the Fuel pump off( and I like what it looks like that way , Im thinking of doing the Small Carb mod to the Needle valve seat suggested in the Tech articles .

Sailrider IMO you do not have to go to a 42 carb to go pumpless .Run a search for pumpless and there are many threads that will help you.I run pumpless with a stock carb....Coug   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/12/01 17:54 By Cougar.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #143160 Lakecharles (User) Jeremiah 29:11 and Semper Fi! Expert Boarder Posts: 490 Re:Going Pumpless. 1 Month ago   Will doing this totally cut out the possibility for carb puking? If it will, I am in for it next spring as the first priority after getting my motorcycle out of hibernation.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #143161 Flashback (Moderator) The devil to pay, and no pitch hot Moderator Posts: 4576 Re:Going Pumpless. 1 Month ago   Most likely.......... unless you actually have a problem with the needle valve itself..   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #143162 sailrider (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 63 Re:Going Pumpless. 1 Month ago   I Guess I have my answers , Thanks all .
