cipher1300 Posted July 31, 2010 #1 Posted July 31, 2010 I have a 2008 Venture and up until now, everytime I turned the key on and moved the kill switch to the on position, I immediately heard a series of clicking noises which I presumed was the fuel relay. My battery had died and I recharged it and now it makes no clicking sound but it will start OK. Have I fried the relay or is that even what the noise was. I called the stealer and he said as long as it starts and runs it is nothing to worry about but I don't know. Please help.
KeithR Posted July 31, 2010 #2 Posted July 31, 2010 I'd say it was your fuel pump.......longer between starts the longer it will click. I think its is pressurizing the system Keith

I think its is pressurizing the system Keith It doesn't even click after sitting 24 hours. It used to click every time I started the bike, even when hot. If it is the fuel relay would it start without pressurizing the system?

Odd
cipher1300 Posted July 31, 2010 Author #5 Posted July 31, 2010 Yes, it is odd. I also worry when the stealer tells me something is "normal" or "nothing to worry about" etc., then I know for sure something is wrong.
painterman67 Posted July 31, 2010 #6 Posted July 31, 2010 the clicking sound is the fuel pump. Not sure why it stoped clicking but mne clicks everytime I started the bike. Afetr ther first few time of hearing it i turned the radio off and pulled plastic till I found it. defenately the fuel pump clicking. You guys sure your not going def. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA David

Actually it is quite loud enough to hear but doesn't always come on.. It won't come if you have your kill switch to OFF for example, when you turn the key.. Once you open the kill switch you'll hear the pump..
