Hold my beer,... Just a word of warning here regarding fuel pumps and fuel pump points. If you decide to go the $17.00 Fuel Pump points route: The package does not include instructions. There is a black wire that requires both unsoldering and re-soldering. Make sure that the points assembly is all together in one piece because there are no instructions. Do not remove the old points before you have the new points because there are no instructions. Take many photos because there are no instructions. If, after you learn all these lessons, you decide to give up and go with the $215.00 Fuel Pump Replacement: The package does not come with instructions. The OEM pump is neither marked "Inlet" nor "Outlet." The OEM fuel pump replacement, when installed upside down, looks almost identical to the OEM fuel pump when installed right side up. The OEM pump is neither marked "Inlet" nor "Outlet." (This is important.) With the OEM fuel pump installed upside down the bike will run only until the float bowls are empty after which it will not run at all. The only way for the OEM fuel pump replacement to be upside down is if the points are installed upside down. Reversing the inlet and outlet fuel hoses is much easier than rotating the points. I took neither photographs nor video. Had I done, it could not have passed the censors. My baby now runs like a champion. I hope this helps.

Here's your excuse to come out west Scott. Up for bid tomorrow.. Friday the 13th.. Ooooo! This one looks an awful lot like the Vette you're eyeballing. Maybe the same one if it didn't meet the reserve at indy..?? I don't know a lot about all the little details of the Corvette history, models, etc, but I like to go fast.... And Butter Pecan.. 🙂 https://www.mecum.com/lots/LN1120-422412/1968-chevrolet-corvette-convertible/

I say it appears to be a case of too much free time and a guy in a ghillie suit.

"What is Both for $1500, Alex". Fix them both and sell whichever doesn't make you smile when you walk into the garage. Personally, I've always loved the looks of the FJ. As I am a bigger guy, I would look like a parade Shriner on the ZX11. RR

@cowpucThanks for posting the videos. So nice to learn and see the engine cutaways.

Somewhere in my long life of back yard wrench spinning I picked up the slang for the "Oil Cleaner" or "Strainer" as calling it an Oil Pan and, right or wrong,, that stuck.. @N3FOL, Tip, Tweeks and I made the run out to Lake George/Americade for the unveiling of the new bike and then out to Sturgis that fall to demo them so we had a pretty good chance to look em over. Here are a couple vids of the SVTC/Eluder under glass from Sturgis. I do not recall seeing an "Oil Pan" on the new 113 in all that crawling around them/checking them out, I did actually look for one on a demo bike at Sturgis cause I really wanted to check the temp on it with my temp lazer gun cause the factory guys had told me Yamaha had found a new way to control oil/engine temps on their new air cooled engine. I may be wrong, and it would not surprise me one bit to find out I am on this cause it was pretty tight under there for my fat head, but something tells me your scoot does not employ one.

I donno Puc. I had an '89 Firebird TPI that I could slip into, and was comfortably tight and a blast to drive.. Always wondered if one of the Vette's of that era would let me in the door... Only thing I wasn't ready to give up the 'Butter Pecan'.... Speaking of bucket lists...here's one itch I might be able to scratch... It's coming up for auction in a couple of weeks... :-) https://d278yjzsv5tla9.cloudfront.net/user_images2/345402_9364607.jpg
