It was a beautiful nite last nite, so I thought I would roll the Venture out and go for a nice ride. Pulled the choke, hit the starter and she fired rite up but sounded like she was only hitting on 2 cyl. tried to give her alittle gas and she died. After repeating that around 50 times???? I rolled her back in and rolled out the Madura, 30yrs old and she fired rite up. Almost forgot how much fun it is to ride that bike. Anyhow after doing a quick search on the site I see same thing has happened to other folks and it turned out to be the fuel pump, so I ordered a new one from Yamaha, hopefully it lasts another 9yrs and 60k miles. I gues the one good thing is it died in the garage and not up in NY or on the way home from there. I have another Millineum sitting in the garage, just mite steal the fuel pump off that one to use until mine gets here, wonder if Millies owner will mind? So Thanks to Don and everyone who contributes to this family for making it a snap to diagnose my problem and hopefully get back on the road.
