Eschete · April 11th, 2010, 10:18 PM

one of my friends just bought a 750 2nd hand. we pulled the fuel line from the fuel pump to see if fuel would come out and no fuel is coming out at all. i know that with anything else u would have to change out the fuel pump but is ther something with the brutes idk about. bc this has happin before with the bike but the it started working again.

Then its at least an 08. The pump is in the tank. Can you hear it running at all? If no and no fuel comes out of the like when the key is on, then check the fuses and all the connectors to the pump. If you here it running, its probably toast or its plugged up. either way it has to come out.

I guess the seal is the wrong one. It has to fit into the housing.

2 weeks ago was out riding down at Ride Royal Blue in Tennessee, got about 2 miles up in the woods hit a small jump landed bike lost power then died (about 2 seconds). towed back to the cabin, not hearing fuel pump run when key is first turned.... mess with this, mess with that, finally think, Hey lets switch some relays around and sho nuff the fuel pump relay had gone bad. turn key and all i got was 2 clicks. Found an Advance Auto bout 25 miles into town, looked up a relay that would match the pins and TA DA! ride ride ride, 70 miles of trails on the Saturday. They give us extra fuses, why not an extra relay....?
