OK, will do.
Just hooked my fuel pressure gauge to verify NO pressure.
I'll pull it and do more testing, may be a couple days
Got the pump out this morning, got it on the bench to test it, gave it power and ground and NO work. Smacked on the side of the workbench and started working. Kinda like a bad starter motor armature. It was the Version B pump, no crimps. I got a US made, Walbro GSS-342 to put in, after checking the specs on them all. I've used the chinese pumps in low HP applications and they were OK, but in this beast, I went american made. It was NOT an exact fit, you need to do some engineering (minor) to get it in there.
Very good info, thank you!
Ive had great luck with the Walbro pumps.
Yes, Nothing like a good smack to test motors, we have all done this, Sounds like you found a good fix with the Walbro GSS-342 pump, Share some pics if you can. What did you have do modify to make it fit?

The bracket/sleeve that holds the pump needed opening up slightly, you got to splice in the Walbro elec. connector,I soldered, no crimps, and I jammed the float in the UP position, with a hose clamp, to keep the low fuel light from coming on. I'll just watch my miles, like I have on every other bike I've owned.
In full disclosure, I brain farted and didn't take any pics, I stole this off a guy on EBAY, selling a used one that looked just like mine. Lol.

Looks good , does the float seem gas logged? Can you dry it out and then seal it so it will float ?
No, couldn't tell. Maybe seal it with something that holds up to fuel? I was just tired of it coming on and off at random.
The only sealers I'm aware of that are rated to be submerged in gas is Permatex 1 or 2. One stays soft and one hardens as hard as JB weld!
Maybe some of that gas tank restore stuff you swish around old car tanks to restore them? Certainly not silicone RTV:(
You might check with EBR parts - may be able to hook you up with a float that floats.
