Hoping someone can help with a quick and easy solution to this. In removing the tank to replace a radiator after the weekend, the clip which holds the fuel pipe onto/into the fuel pump has cracked and come off. I found out as I restarted the bike, as the pressure built it just blew the tube out and fuel went all over the (hot) manifold. That was an interesting few seconds. Anyway, there is now nothing to hold on the pipe and I've checked the parts manual and it's not listed as a seperate part? Its the black "collar" in the pic
I don't have a problem with that, they're a business, they're there to make money. But in this case I don't want to have to buy a new fuel pump assembly for the sake of a part which costs less than 10 cents/pence. ALso the outer o ring is torn which is a pain but I'm sure I can find a new o ring from somewhere.
I'd start with a trip to auto parts store, might find something (fuel filter?) you can remove one from. Take the fuel line along. .
I did all that. Spent all day yesterday doing it. No fix apart from zip ties and epoxy which I'm not happy with. I've found a fuel pump at a breaker so just put it in and all good
