Cruise Pump?

Cruise Pump

I have a car cruise on my VTX and I'm looking for a vacuum pump. Is the Yamaha cruise pump an actual pump. In other words can I hot wire it and use it as a pump? I bought a Gold Wing thingy I thought was a pump and it was just a vacuum check valve. Thanks for any help. Jeff

It's an actual pump (at least on first gen). It's also got internal valving that is used to adjust the vacuum in the system.

 

I'll bet it won't work worth a damn with a vacuum slave that has different characteristics than the one that Yamaha uses.

Thank you for the response. I'm trying to find a pump to end my frustration. Jeff:rotf:

My guess is if you ran that pump constantly it would die quickly.
