Title: Noisy fuel pump
Post by: Coomers on April 16, 2012, 10:06:51 PM

Every now and then I’ll start the bike and the fuel pump will be noisy for 2-3 minutes it happened again tonight even though the tank is ¾ full. Has anyone else experienced this?

Nope, but that doesn't sound good.  I wonder if the inlet screen is partially blocked, not allowing pressure to build?
Daveo (RIP Rider) did an in depth thread on removal and repair for a plugged screen.  Not sure if it made it through the Great Crash of forum lore.

I saw it posted on the COG site a while back by Fred.  Let me see if I can find a link.

Yes, it did make it and is in the C14 Wiki area.
