Hi All!

My fuel pump died yesterday. I was lucky to have a spare one with me thanks to Jon but now I need a replacement. Where would you source it from and how?

Sorry to bother with this one but I'm very new to this all (even new to the country) and I'm totally clueless. I suppose I could get one from a garage but I thought I'd ask you just in case there's a smarter way.

Cheers,

Alex

Alez,

E-bay?
Yellow Pages and find your nearest bike breakers.

Is it a bike fuel pump, or a car fuel pump with a regulator? If it's a bike fuel pump, any largish bike fuel pump should do. I got a 750 kawazaki fuel pump from a local scrappies for £15. I've been assured just about all bike fuel pumps work the same.

Thanks guys. I'll follow your advice and do a bit of investigation on that direction.

Cheers,

Alex

Sorry Alister, forgot to mention it's a bike fuel pump, for a Fireblade engine..

Yep, I too have a Fireblade (99), only some (very few - not sure of the years) fireblades were fitted with fuel pumps, and some people use a car fuel pump on their blade. The only problem is that a car fuel pump is far too strong for a blade carbourettor (it's used to a gravity feed) - so folks either use a bike pump (much weaker) or a car fuel pump and a regulator so it doesn't swamp the carbs with petrol.
Best of luck.

That's interesting because the motorbikes I've had in the past didn't have a fuel pump and I didn't even know they existed until I got the Locost. And now not only I know they exist but also I've had to replace mine!

Cheers,

Alex
