I too have serviced the "unserviceable" pump and filter.
Take your time and take pics as you go

I used to run a convenience store in Northern Minnesota. Not that the place makes any difference it was just where. I learned that the worst time to fill up ( from Truckers) was during and just after they fill the underground tanks. Most pumps have little or no filters. The underground tanks have a 3-6" pipe up off the bottom of the tank where the fuel is drawn in. This is great since the water and floaty crap is usually not in that range. But during and shortly after the tanker drops off fuel it gets all stirred up. Pass that station and go to the next one.
I even ask what fuel they are dumping at the time if they are there when I arrive and which they have just filled. If it is My favorite = premium ( Vaquero) I move to the next station.

Maybe a help to some?

+1 and agree with MBarr on the dont get gas if the tanker is there. I have even asked the driver which fuel they just dropped. If it is what I was planning on pumping, moved on. Year's ago, had a 650 Special (Yamaha - I called it the Yam-a-hammer due to the sound). Filled up at a station while the tanks where being filled. Was lucky that it had a see-through inline fuel filter. Needless to say, the evidence of MBarr's point was in that filter within a few miles and she ran like crap - even for a 650 Special. Dumped that gas, new in-line filter and lesson learned - the hard way...

Thanks Mike for sharing that wisdom..

Ride safe,
Smokier

I've just finished the same job myself, so here's my own obligatory filter photo.

I saved Mike's photos to pdf, and will copy them over into a tech guide on here if I can get access to start a thread in there.

PEG.... Did you ever make this PDF for the fuel pump replacement from Fay's write up?

I have it pdf somewhere, but it's too big to attach to the forum. So I simply copied it into several posts earlier in this thread.

mr500 · 06-24-2020, 08:31 PM

Ok. I saw the original post as well.

Thanks

where is everyone getting the fuel filter from? I do not see it as an available part on PartZilla

Thanks for the instructions! I did this a couple weeks ago and filter was dirty as all the rest in photos. haven't rode bike as we are in the deep freeze in Minnesota, but anxious to see how it runs.

Thanks for the instructions Peg.

I just did this swap on mine this past week. Mike's step-by-step made it easy. Any time I do my own work, I can usually add a Pro Tip...

Pro-Tip: when replacing the tank back on the bike, and reconnecting the fuel line...be sure that the fuel line connector is ALL THE WAY on when you engage the snap-clip back in-place. Otherwise, when you first crank it up, the pressure from the fuel pump will force the fuel line off and gas will go everywhere.

You can tip me later, I'll be here here all week, and oh yeah - try the veal

Yup. I just got mine from that site

https://www.highflowfuel.com/quantum...es-49040-0035/

Free shipping too and relatively quick. They also let you know by email when it ships. I've attached a pic of what you get. Only $15 and you'll probably have enough for the bike's life.

Thanks Much Peg for your info on this.

Will a dirty screen cause bogging and no restart?

Anything that stops fuel flow could cause bogging and a no start condition.
