    It appears the electric fuel pump is shot and both of the plastic elbows on the bottom of the cover. The tank is in rough shape too. I can get a 2007 (non fuel injected) tank for fairly cheap. Can I just use this tank and use an external, in-line fuel pump with an in-line filter? If so, what fuel pump should I buy? Thank you!

    If you drop the fuel pump plate, you can get to the actual fuel pump. That can be easily replaced fairly cheaply:

    Guy on ebay also has a nice gas tank:

    I don't know about the elbows. Perhaps you can tap the plate and install new ones. I'm sure somebody has dealt with this and will chime in.

    Andrew, are you the guy I met in the Valero station on Jibboom last weekend?

    I haven't heard of anyone that has been successful rigging up an external pump and real sure it hasn't happened.

    Yep, it is the same guy! You told me to try this site out, pretty good so far.

    Not sure if the 610/630 elbows were different from the 510. A few years back, someone on here had got some stainless 90 to work. It ended up costing him a few hundred if memory serves me right. The other option was to buy one from beta. Husky doesn't sell the elbow by itself. You have to buy the whole pump. Beta sells it by itself. Zip-Ty sells one for the 310.
