#115839 Hotelfox (User) Riding The BIG RED THUNDERCHICKEN!! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1116 Removing the Fuel Pump 2 Months, 4 Weeks ago   I saw an article in the tech about relocating the fuel pump but I want to take mine off. I would just remove the thing, re-rout the fuel line and terminate the wires to the pump?

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1116 Re:Removing the Fuel Pump 2 Months, 4 Weeks ago   Well I already did that, I have the 2.5mm float valve so I figured it was time to loose the pump, one less electrical item.

Running the bike with the stock valve will "bottom" out at higher speeds or just when you need the power. It's a simple operation. http://roadstarclinic.com/content/view/163/96/ will guide you through it. make sure you also do the Mr. Tide tip when you check the float level. It'll save you a ton of grief later. Just take your time and plan for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours (including a stop for refreshments).

Sometimes it works without all of this sometimes it doesn't. Good luck!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #115866 Hotelfox (User) Riding The BIG RED THUNDERCHICKEN!! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1116 Re:Removing the Fuel Pump 2 Months, 4 Weeks ago   Just went down, disconnected the electrical lead to the pump. All I did was move the line from the metal line to the carb up and to the tank. Down the road I might get a longer hose. Now if I take the pump and bracket off, what am I going to do with the choke? Do you just leave it hanging there or do I need to make a bracket for it?

Some have relocated it to other areas. If you do a search you'll find a post with pics.

Get inventive. As long as you don't pull it too far out of the carb you're good to go. You can get more choke by trimming off about 1/16 " off the back part of the knob. It's explained in the tech section. As for the hose routing I followed the suggestions that accompanied the process. Remember to keep everything you take off your bike because somewhere down the line you or someone else will be needing it. It's much cheaper than showing up at the dealer's doorstep.
