Title: Fuel pump question........
Post by: Kiwifruit on Thursday, 03 September 2020, 11:39 AM
Hi guys, thought l may have found my fuelling problem yesterday.
However, l may not have........
Anyone that has had their pump and filter separated could you please tell me if the little white plastic clip is normally visible. (as in photo)
Have seen a clip on Utube and l can see the clip.
Cheers lads  :onya:

What's the O-ring like where it fits to the pipe through the metal bowl to deliver to the high pressure hose? I've had one chew a bit off the O-ring when refitting & it caused poor fuelling at high revs. I've also had one crack there, but that was my fault for forgetting to lube the O-ring first.

Always lube the ring Hooli  :onya:
Fuel pump looks pretty mint, teabag was spotless with nothing in the bowl. Tank looks brand new inside. Had the fuel cap apart...... only lost two tiny parts that l couldn't even see when the spring flew off.
Hope they weren't  important   :facepalm:
