Pumpless idea? 2 Years, 4 Months ago
|
|
As I understand it the biggest reason we have a fuel pump is the float bowl is too small. Anyone ever look in to if there is a bigger float bowl that will fit our carb? Seems like that might solve it quick and easy or an I being too literal?

some have just changed out the inlet valve (name escapes me  ) others have just went pumpless without ill effects. OR you can switch to a HSR42 and go pumpless too.

There's a slew of topics on pumpless out there, and a write-up in the tech forum. I'm doing an overhaul in a month, and pumpless is on my to-do list.
Here's a link to the tech article:

In addition to changing the needle valve in the float bowl, and finding a deeper bowl (I tried a few years ago but could not find one), you would also need to build a main jet extension to get the main jet down deeper into the new bowl.

Yeah I figured there might be an issue there, thanks for doing the leg work.
You get up north some day let me know, always looking to go riding....
