#306605 tanman968 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 28 Pumpless question 1 Year, 8 Months ago   Ive read so many different ways to go pumpless. Some guys swear by things that other people say aren't necessary. I have a 99 with a stock carb. I just ordered a Grizzly float valve. So I guess I want to know if someone has gotten away with just changing the float valve and leaving everything else the same as pre-pumpless?   Logged     [img size=150][/img]<a href=\"http://s622.photobucket.com/albums/tt309/tanman968/?action=view&amp;current=bike44.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt309/tanman968/bike44.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Photobucket\"></a>   The administrator has disabled public write access. #306619 frank t. (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 1 Re:Pumpless question 1 Year, 8 Months ago   i just went pumpless and put in the grizzly 660 needle valve seat. the only other thing i did was vent the gas cap. i used the stock fuel filter in line to carb. have had no issues at all. it's been about a month.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #306622 Thom M (User) When the going gets weird, the RoadStar gets going Gold Boarder Posts: 916 Re:Pumpless question 1 Year, 8 Months ago   to both of you. Try it, if it works great. If it doesn't just try the next step. You will at least probably want to shorten the petcock's fill tube.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #306670 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am.. Moderator Posts: 9221 Re:Pumpless question 1 Year, 8 Months ago   Glad yall found us........... A lot depends on how you ride, but the grizzly will insure enough fuel and shortening the pickup tube will get your idiot light back in sync...I think removing the rollover valve probably should be done if you don't vent the cap...my2.......   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #306671 tanman968 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 28 Re:Pumpless question 1 Year, 8 Months ago   What does removing the roll over valve entail? If I really get on it and I going to run the carb dry? Shortening the pickup tube is as simple as taking it out and cutting it right?   Logged     [img size=150][/img]<a href=\"http://s622.photobucket.com/albums/tt309/tanman968/?action=view&amp;current=bike44.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt309/tanman968/bike44.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Photobucket\"></a>   The administrator has disabled public write access. #306674 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am.. Moderator Posts: 9221 Re:Pumpless question 1 Year, 8 Months ago   Follow the vent hose from the front of the tank back thru the bike, around the area of the swingarm pivot you will see a gizmo that looks a bit like a pcv valve you simply pull it off and replace with a piece of tubing that fits the hose.. With the grizzly, you won't run dry. take the petcock out of the tank and cut a half inch off the tall pickup tube....   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #306675 fireman922 (User) Chrome won't get ya home, but it will get ya laid.

I just pulled the vent tube off the front of the tank a few years ago and never hooked it back up.. Flash, why do you need to trim down the petcock? Never could understand that.   Logged     Grow Old or Die Trying...   The administrator has disabled public write access. #306677 tanman968 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 28 Re:Pumpless question 1 Year, 8 Months ago   Great!

Well, It really isn't a big deal to me, but many have found they need to go on reserve before the idiot light comes on, by cutting the tube down, it gets the light back in sync .... edit: basicly it allows the tank to drain down a bit further before switching to reserve...really doesn't do anything to the light...   Logged     Last Edit: 2010/09/03 13:25 By Flashback.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #306782 dennyo2 (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 389 Re:Pumpless question 1 Year, 8 Months ago   Flashback wrote Follow the vent hose from the front of the tank back thru the bike, around the area of the swingarm pivot you will see a gizmo that looks a bit like a pcv valve you simply pull it off and replace with a piece of tubing that fits the hose.. Why is this necessary? The float valve will only let so much fuel drain into the bowl. It should have plenty of time to equalize IMOP. Is there something I'm missing?
