WTB 87 vfr fuel pump

fuel pump died. so I need a new one please and thank you.

seems gravity drain does not work on 700's?

 

Many "fuel pump failures" are actually fuel pump relay failures, so you need to try the bypass or measure resistance across the 2 pump wires, which, if it's infinite DOES indicate that the pump goes to the rubbish bin.

That pump is by no means unique to that bike and that year as it was used on a wide variety of Hondas and bikes from the other manufacturers over a long span of years, so possibly a smart salvage yard could supply a replacement.

 

yeah they want 60 bucks. Ill check the relay can I bypass the relay to run the pump? or would it not run right

 

also where is the pump relay? another random question. three lines coming from gas tank. ones fuel line. the other are both vents right not vacuum?

 

One line drains the pocket around the filler cap of rain water or spilled fuel.

Pump relay is nearby the pump. Do the bypass to send power directly to the pump, then report back. Having suffered numerous relay failures, i've eliminated the relays on all my Hondas, permanently installing a jumper wire at the relay plug.

Some think it MAY POSSIBLY be risky due to minor conflagrational issues, but not Squirrelman !

 

the fuel pump relay is the box next to the rectifier?

fuel pump

gold wing pumps work also cbr 600 early pumps also..jump the realy and tap on the pump with a screwdriver handle..gregg....chack all ur fuses for corrosion..

 

anyone got a pic of the relay and position they can link for me

 

its behind the Lh isde cover to the rear of the plugs harness assy small rectangular black box with a three wire plug on it..might be in a rubber vibration free holder..its solid state sealed..gregg

 

ahh next to the rectifier? okay so I splice the hot wire off the pump and the hot wire into that together? leave grounds as is? or what

 

fuel pump test

find relay unplug from relay make a jumper wire plug into connector connecting the white wire to the black wire..might want to remove fuel line from carbs to see if it flows ,,if pressure is already built up pump will not work due to built in pressure regulator..if it doesnt work tap on it with a screwdriver handle..and or filter could be plugged also ..i jump the plug to pressure test carbs out of the bike before installing after a carb rebuild to check for leaks..gregg

 

well I tried the bypass and it made no difference. the fuel pump doesnt pump

 

fuel pump

key on kill switch in run position..in nuetral and try jumping and tapping pump body...pull key cover and check all fuses for continuity and corrosion......if all else fails pull pump and hook directly to a 12 volt battery source..smack it a couple times it might be stuck..its a diaphram pulse type with pressure regulator never seen one die..wish i could come look at it..gregg

 

k so i pulled pump hooked it to the batterys ground and hot. and it makes one suck nose tgen nothing everytime i touch to hot it would spark if i touch the framw with the pump it its self would spark also the pump got super hot

 

pump

ITS TOAST>>>> find another one..never seen one go bad unless its so varnished up or rusted internally...i tried ..gregg

 

Im thinking bout picking up a mr gasket universal pump 3-5psi I think. i cant find an mitsubishi under 100

 

pump

get one from ebay ..ive heard that the cbr 600 pumps also work and the early gold wing pumps..should find a used one cheap..gregg

 

I know a possible remedy for wacha got there !

Remove the black cover, grab the central shaft of the works (silver colored, about 5mm diameter) with pliers, then spary a bit of WD40 down into that area and pull up on the shaft about 1/8 inch to free it cuz it's stuck. Pull it up then let it spring back down a few times and that should fix it.



Another deal that fixes some pumps sometimes is cleaning the electrical points by dragging #600 or finer sandpaper through the gap to restore the surface conductivity and remove any corrosion.

 

thanks fellas will not be buying a 700 got my own woes
