So a buddy of mine had this '86 VFR700F languishing in the cellar and he wanted to get it going... Great.
Old gas, brittle fuel lines, weak clamps, plugged up fuel filter, all that changed out. Checked for spark, I did not check compression.
With a new battery I cranked her up for a bit and no joy so I pulled the fuel line off just ahead of the pump and there is only a trickle. Emptied the tank and pulled the fuel tap off to ensure that the internal piping was not partially blocked and reassembled. This fuel tap is that recessed little number set into the left side of the tank. Not a bad set up really. Three O-Rings under the valve itself, no leaking.
Does the pump need to actually suck from the tank or is the gravity feed from the tank enough to fill the pump and push the fuel to the carbs...?
As an added oddity, the pump relay clicks when I hit the go button but I do not know if it should or not...?
Thoughts...?
Thanks,
Rob
