I GOT IT.. Thanks so much for the help. The rubber nipple that I did not see was aligned improperly. Adjusted it a little, put it back on the bike and Started pumping fuel again. At least it will idle now, but still will only idle with the choke and when you roll slow to a quarter throttle it...

Ok so, I am pretty sure I got it all back together right. I saw the pattern someone was talking about in the gasket and line it up properly. I pumped gas through the pump using a syphon hand pump and tried turning the pump on. No leaks. The pump runs but pushes no gas through the line. So the...

I looked at the how to on disassembling the fuel pump. My bowl looks a bit different. It only has the one metal piece inside and there is no other hole with a rubber tit. it is just solid plastic. I did take the other screws out of the body to inspect the orange rubber gasket and such. I must be...

Ok so I tried reassembling today and putting back together. I can hear the pump working after turning the key on and when cranking. I see fuel moving in the fuel filter but it doesnt look like very much if any is making it to the pump. The bike still wont start. I looked at the how-to but my...

I will try and take it out and reassemble tomorrow but if anyone has one I would be glad to pay some money for it and send my old one to keep and recondition. I just want to ride this beast and it doesnt want to cooperate.

Okay so I took the fuel pump out, took it apart. i did not see any rust, but now when I put the fuel pump on it makes a noise the entire time it is getting power and it stopped pumping fuel. Now the bike wont run at all. How could I have put this back together incorrectly? Does it matter whcih...

Thank you all so much for the reply. I am going to attempt the shotgun method one more time in an effort to avoid having to tear everything off. I am not sure if the gaskets and o-rings were replaced when it was serviced, but I am pretty sure they didn't replace anything, only cleaned. I...

Thanks for the link to the guide. How much would we be talking to farm it out? This may all be too much for me. What I most afraid of is tearing it all down, pulling my hair out putting it back together and then I go to start it and it either doesnt fix it or wont start. Local service guys here...

Thats what I was afraid of. I work on my dirt bike carbs all the time and am sort of mechanically inclined but I have never tackled and carbs this complicated looking. Any help you could provide would be much appreciated. I also have a service manual but it is not very descriptive when it comes...

Hello All, I am new to the site, and I love it so far. Everyone is very helpful. I am having a pretty serious problem with my 91 Vmax. I am assuming it is a fuel or air issue, or both. The bike will not start without the choke, cold or warm. It will idle, but only with the choke on. As...
