trouble with fuel pump

[dueyk1111]

ok,  started year with old fuel pump, checked it to see if it was running, it was functioning correctly. went for ride, shortly after starting ride started starving for fuel, came home , changed fuel pump, put new one in, ran for bout 3 minutes n started starving for fuel again. checked to see if fuel pump was running, it was not. plugged old fuel pump in and ran fine when i turned the key on . changed plug back to new one and it was  dead. d___ china fuel pumps just aren't worth the metal they are made out of. is there a good fuel pump out there that isn't $200 dollars?

Get ahold of your factory fuel pump and replace the points in it.   Check vent line from top of tank all the way down to the check valve all the way down to the bottom of the bike for blockage.

You might be able to clean up and straighten the original points if they aren't to burnt up. Either way, replacement points are cheap enough and easy to install.

It's probably be a good idea to keep a set of replacement points with the tool kit on the bike.

Where might one purchase them?

Your dealer can get them direct from K & L Supply, or you can get them from Amazon.  The K & L Supply points are quality Japanese made points.
