Hi Bernard, there's not much to worry, as it's been written before.  If the
fuel pump dies, you can plug the fuel hose directly into the carbs and the
bike runs normally with only two restrictions.

First, you have to manually shut off the fuel tap once you stop (or the
carbs will flood)
Second, once the fuel level drops lower than the carbs the bike will stop,
so you just have to refill more often.  Apparently the bottom of the tank is
lower than the carbs, because Honda wanted to give the machine a larger fuel
tank.  Earlier model did not have fuel pump, as the tank was still above the
carbs and gravity did the job.

am I writing clearly?  call me if you wanna chat.  95805275pgr  8480701
