Subject: Fuel Pump


Hi all.

A few thousand km's ago, my fuel pump gave up and I was forced to connect
the fuel filter directly to the tube leading ub to the carburetor.

All seemed fine, except that I had a reduced useable tank capacity. Approx.
20l of the 24 could be used.

With a friend, i found out that the Pump from the VFR (RC36) has the same
performance (900cc in 1 min @13V), and approx. the same size.
Last weekend, i changed Pumps. With a little modification, the VFR pump
slid gently into the rubber ring used to fix the original pump on the frame.
The rubber ring from the VFR will not fit to the frame! The cable that
comes with the pump is just right long enough, but the connector fits
perfectly! no tricks, no soldering!

So if you ever are in need of a fuel pump, you don't have to be looking for
the original. If you happen to find a VFR pump, go for it!
