You might not need the new needle. And if you do need to order a needle you'll still be able to ride by just hooking the pump back up. Some people need to raise the float level some too. And you might have to cut a 1/2 inch or so off the main pick up tube in the tank so you don't have to go to reserve sooner than normal.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #169695 galban (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 130 Re:Lose the Fuel Pump Mod 3 Years, 2 Months ago   Does removing the fuel pump affect MPGs??   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #169702 Bruzer (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 217 Re:Lose the Fuel Pump Mod 3 Years, 2 Months ago   here is a sweet add on to fill the cleavage of the jugs, well at least I like it.

I removed the pump, rerouted the line so it is mostly hidden, and went with Mr.C's universal K&N air filter mod... you can see right through between the jugs. I love the open, light sort of look to it. Hang a formed plate there if you want... and it does look good, but I like a view!   Logged     Sig pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #169996 galban (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 130 Re:Lose the Fuel Pump Mod 3 Years, 2 Months ago   galban wrote: Does removing the fuel pump affect MPGs?? bump   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #169999 Questcap (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3208 Re:Lose the Fuel Pump Mod 3 Years, 2 Months ago   No, removing the pump should have no effect on MPG.   Logged     Sig pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #170006 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am..

LOL Makes sense, I thought I caught a comment earlier in this post about more gas being dumped into the carb because of this mod.   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/03/05 20:43 By galban.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #170016 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am.. Moderator Posts: 9221 Re:Lose the Fuel Pump Mod 3 Years, 2 Months ago   Your probably thinking of the post that mentioned that you will need to go on reserve sooner. Its not a case of using more fuel. When the tank gets down low, gravity doesn't feed as much volume in a given amount of time as the fuel pump so you switch to reserve about a half gallon sooner..... I hope that makes sense..   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #170035 Roadkill1962 (User) ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ Platinum Boarder Posts: 3213 Re:Lose the Fuel Pump Mod 3 Years, 2 Months ago   Flashback wrote: Your probably thinking of the post that mentioned that you will need to go on reserve sooner.

I hope that makes sense.. Could have been my comment about venting the cap to allow a faster fuel flow rate. It won't flow any faster than the carb'll drink it, and the carb won't drink any more than you pour down it's throat with the twist of your wrist... Think of it in beer terms--ever "shotgunned" a beer? Venting the tank cap is like when you pop the top--oh, what a difference!
