#361667 texasscott1 (User) Two of a kind Platinum Boarder Posts: 2494 Re:Pumpless Question 2 Years, 1 Month ago   Good instructions here: http://roadstarclinic.com/content/view/163/96/ Just substitute the float valve from the Yamaha 660 Grizzly (3.0 mm) for better fuel flow.   Logged     My 99 Standard Test Mule Scott B.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #361689 nightstar57 (User) ride it like ya paid for it .. Platinum Boarder Posts: 3336 Re:Pumpless Question 2 Years, 1 Month ago   texasscott.. did you vent your tank..?? I havent had any starvation problems with mine yet, but you probably ride alot more than i do.. i have yet to get on the highway for any good length of time..just went pumpless 6 months ago..   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #361697 BC1955 (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 233 Re:Pumpless Question 2 Years, 1 Month ago   Thanks Texasscott for the link but do I have to change the needle valve? For now I'm not wanting to do a lot of performance mods. It runs pretty good as is. I just want to do away with the fuel pump. Is it as simple as replacing the existing fuel pump and steel tube with a new flexable fuel line with an inline filter from the petcock to the carb? For now that's all I want to do. Later on, when I get to know this bike better, I will probably do the needle valve swap.   Logged     American by birth...

Jona?   Logged     Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. -John Watson   The administrator has disabled public write access. #361702 Jona (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4016 Re:Pumpless Question 2 Years, 1 Month ago   Stock float valve and petcock, same metal fuel line, no extra filter, no extra venting, however, I did add a positive inline (on/off) ballcock valve so I didn't have to dick with turning the petcock off all the time....works great so far....may add an inline filter down the road and perhaps vent the gas cap... and I don't slack on the seafoam maintenance   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/04/06 15:29 By Jona.   Ride till ya get there, and, drink till she\'s cute   The administrator has disabled public write access. #361705 texasscott1 (User) Two of a kind Platinum Boarder Posts: 2494 Re:Pumpless Question 2 Years, 1 Month ago   No. I still have the stock vent and rollover valve. And stock petcock.   Logged     My 99 Standard Test Mule Scott B.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #361706 texasscott1 (User) Two of a kind Platinum Boarder Posts: 2494 Re:Pumpless Question 2 Years, 1 Month ago   BC1955, I tried mine with the stock float valve but the engine would suck the bowl dry at 75 mph full throttle. Something about owning a bike with the fastest color I guess.

I think I will try it without changing the needle valve and see what happens. If I don't like it I will do the whole swapping thing. I too Jona believe in Seafoam. I keep a bottle or two on hand.   Logged     American by birth...

I never shut off the petcock, and didn't adjust the float. No more puke. I haven't been on any long hauls yet, but I held it at 80 for about 20 miles and had no issues. I'm glad I did it.   Logged     Franksandbeans   The administrator has disabled public write access.
