Fellas! The new fuel pump arrived today in the early morning. I swapped it in and.... success!  icon_cheers The ampage reading is now a steady 3.6A, a little higher than I believe it should be but, there's no more fluctuations from throttle, stumbling, high amp jumps etc. The only thing left to do is ride off into the sunset, after it finally stops raining.....

Regarding your new fuel pump purchase, if you've performed the tests correctly as prescribed by rbm and caveman. and described their results correctly, congratulations! You've bought yourself a spare fuel pump.



Spare pump? I think not.  :laughing1:

Thank you all for your contributions to my problem. Glad we've been able to get to the bottom of this.

It's too early to start the party, seb. Take a ride in the rain; it'll cool you off.  :laughing1:

You call that rain?


This is rain. I'm going bicycling.  :laughing4-giggles:

Okay!  That's good news.  Question now is, have you cleaned out the tank to make sure there's no dirt in there that can cause problems with the new pump?

Yep! The tank was immaculate before I even changed the pump, but I drained it and flushed it several times before hand cleaning it with a microfiber.

Would you like to sell your old pump cheap?
I would like to do an autopsy.

Sure! I'm actually more than happy to send it to you at just the cost of shipping. I really don't need anything for the pump, I was going to recycle it anyways. I'm very curious myself to discover what the problem to pump was. I've PM'd you to figure out all the details.

Absolutely! I'm sure we're all a bit curious as to what actually caused the pump to act so erratically.
