midnightrider1300 Posted July 13, 2013 #1 Posted July 13, 2013 well I put Mr gasket 42s fuel pump and new filter on.... 1st test run rode it 2 miles PERFECT.... parked the bike, got up the nest morning was going to ride to work made maybe a mile & half bike quit, starving for gas..kept messing with it and got it back running, but not right... limped home checked the filter and there was NO fuel in it...I'm going to DRAIN the tank and see if there is some trash in the tank???? it's almost like it's vapor locking..
Bones Posted July 13, 2013 #2 Posted July 13, 2013 Was there a sound of air sucking into the tank when you took the cap off? Also when you run it with the cap off take it for a easy ride with it off. The vent hole may be clogged. Just a thought.

Mike well I can see fuel in the filter ( i moved it so i could get to it ) BUT when it died it was EMPTY... i had to turn the switch off and on to get fuel back in ...or was it because i turned the petcock on and off ....

Could you have the inlet and outlet bibs on the fuel pump reversed???
