Fuel Pump ?
Posted: Wed Jan 28, 2009 7:10 pm
The stock mechanical fuel pump on my Pinz appears to be failing. After sitting a couple of weeks, it takes a long time to pump fuel to the carbs. It starts fine if it's been sitting a few days or so.
In looking at the parts diagram, there are a couple of membrane pieces. I assume these must degrade over time. Do the springs need to be replaced as well?
I saw rebuild kits on some of the vendors' websites, so what's the opinion on rebuilding the pump vs. a new one? Looks like new ones are quite expensive! Does a rebuilt one last for a while ? Thanks.
