Hi all, hoping someone can give me a few hints on swapping my fuel pump out. I've got the assembly stripped to what you see in the pic and I'm not sure where to go from here or how much muscle to apply?

Have a look here, any questions just ask

Thanks Mick. Got it sorted. I just needed to apply a bit more muscle. The body (black bit) was being held in place by the tight fitting O ring around where the pick-up fits into it. Sump was full of yummy sludge. Got my pump of flea bay for $80. Wasn't quite a direct fit. Same size but had a different connector. Comes with a lifetime guarantee though.

Let us know how it goes (the eBay one) I have been watching them

This one?
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/160788500987 ... 1497.l2649I can tell you it's noisier than stock even though they say it's quiet. I can hear it over the exhaust at 60 without earplugs in. I had to use the original filter as the one they supplied didn't fit. There is also a rubber boot under the filter you need to cut a piece out of. It has a different connector from stock, but wiring to match comes with it. So a bit of fluffing about, but if you're confident enough to change the pump in the first place it shouldn't be an issue.

Ah yeah, they're tight bastards to get on and off, glad you got it sorted.

Yeah that's the one

Update for Wattie. After say 5 hours of run time the pumps internals have meshed with each other and it's maybe a little louder than stock. If it is it's not by much.

Update: the pump has dropped to half the pressure required. Bike would not idle or rev above 4K. Bought used pump from metro spares for $325. A little exxy but I didn't have a lot of choice.
