FI Fuel Pump Mod

A small amount of 2 stroke oil in the fuel can make a huge difference in the life of these pumps. The sound the pump makes will change significantly with the lubrication.

Just wanted to share my take on this thread after I had to change the fuel pump on my 08 TE 610.

I ordered the fuel pump from ca-cycleworks (FP-HUS-F) based upon the recommendations from this thread. To my surprise the new black pump View attachment 70449 does fit the holster but its shoulder is slightly higher than the shiny OEM unit. Thus it was impossible to securely engage the locking tabs of the holster over the shoulders. The kit did include a mice stainless steel hose clamp that squeezed the tabs around the pump, but I ended up using some Nichrome wire (I couldn't find stainless steel safety wire) to cerclage the pump in the holster. I didn't feel that I had to insulate the wire because the positive lead to the pump has a pretty stout insulated cover View attachment 70448

The Duralast FF3330DL fuel filter was actually quite a bit smaller than the OEM one. I found a different model (Duralast FF3401DL/WIX 33012/ FRAM G2S) that was exactly the same size as the OEM with 5/16" ends. The submersible fuel line was available at O'Reilly's Auto Parts, but they wanted $23 for a 12 inch piece! I used fuel injection clamps of the hose connections. The finished result worked like a charm!

Looks good. That pump is not going to go anywhere.

Where did you get the flex hose on top?

You will note the stock pump has a 1/4 outlet and the stock filter a 1/4" inlet.

The cycleworks pump has a 5/16 outlet.

The flex hose is part of the kit from cycle works and it matched the size of the pump outlet and filter inlet
