#126377 Curt (User) Never to old to ride! Platinum Boarder Posts: 3028 Fuel Pump Relay 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   Been having problems with the fuel pump not working some times after sitting. At first I thought it was the extra conectors that I added to elec feeding the pump so I soldered them and things were fine for a long time. Today I went to go to work turned the key on and didn't hear the tick tick tick of the fuel pump filling the bowl again. I'm really hoping it is the fuel pump relay and not the fuel pump. Has anyone else had this problem?   Logged     Black Ice is Shinny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #126378 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 10754 Re:Fuel Pump Relay 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   I had problems with mine after about a couple of years. One of the reasons I move away form the stock pump. The manual has the procedure on how to check the relay.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 3028 Re:Fuel Pump Relay 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   Yep Doc already looked at it didn't tell me to much except the meter readings I didn't already know. To beat to tackle it tonight so I will jump on it in the morning. As for dumping the pump I kind of like having a force feed system I know most of my old bikes have gravity feed but with this big engine I like it being forced to the carb. I do tend to crank it kinda hard, just ask BillJr. I was just wondering if the relay was a weak spot on these bikes and if many had problems with it. I'm sure I will know within minutes if it is the pump or the relay and can pick up a replacement if needed when I take my mom to the Dr. Still would like to hear from other with the problem just to get a count so to speak.   Logged     Black Ice is Shinny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #126405 Roadkill1962 (User) I have ADOS - Attention Defecit...Oh, Shiny! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1390 Re:Fuel Pump Relay 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   Curt-- My relay died one night at 11 pm. I've been pumpless ever since with no problems, even at 5100 RPM (with the large needle valve). Dead relay is still in the bike, fuel pump is on the shelf. And just FYI, there is a difference in relays for the 99-03s and the 04+ models...thought I could get a used older one cheap, but they're different.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 3028 Re:Fuel Pump Relay 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   Thanks RK but if it turn out to be the pump I may go the route Doc did with a vacuum pump.   Logged     Black Ice is Shinny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #126474 Curt (User) Never to old to ride! Platinum Boarder Posts: 3028 Re:Fuel Pump Relay 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   Well went out this morning and checked it before tearing it apart and she pumped and fired right up. Figured out it only happens when I take the tank off so it has to be an air lock in the fuel line. The pump has been relocated inside the right side cover so the fuel line is really long. Guess I need to figure out a way to purge the line if I take the tank off. SO if any of you guys have the same problem that is what is happening. If I figure out how to purge the line I will post it.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 2877 Re:Fuel Pump Relay 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   Hey curt get you a squeeze bulb off of a boat fuel line and put it between the pump and carb. Then if it acts up just pump the bulb   Logged     06 Midnight Silverado *nothing shines like a star*   The administrator has disabled public write access. #126668 Flashback (Moderator) The devil to pay, and no pitch hot Moderator Posts: 4322 Re:Fuel Pump Relay 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   Isn't that called fuel injection???????????   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #126676 Greysnake (User) BB sold all the beer and bought a stratoliner.
