Fuel pump fail replacement?

Hopefully the local dealer takes care of it for you. According to this thread the newer replacement pumps appear to be a little different so hopefully they are more reliable:

Keep us posted on how you make out.

So what is the cost for this "new technology" fuel pump,so I can start saving for this?Anyone know?

waking up the thread, this problem needs a solution

I was faced with this fuel pump issue also.The replacement pump I used was for a 95 Jaguar X36 #951-0008 It is bigger and you have to trim the support bracket.Actually I feel a slightly larger pump will help service life. It's been in my customer's 08-510 for about 6 months with no issues.I can sell you one of these pumps if you need one.

How Much, and any pics?

I don't have any pics.Like I said,it is a larger pump.You do have to trim the bracket.I'll have to see what the current cost is.I know it's a lot less than $600.

Hey auto, if a fuel pump is rated for 42 GPH and a vehicle calls for 10 GPH, what does that mean? Will the pump deliver more than is needed? Will the pump blow something out? Will the vehicle's pressure regulator get blown up?

Is this the one?

Local dealer has given me the cold shoulder, no response to my emails asking for help, I am done with him.

I will need to confine my posts to one thread on how I am making out since 2 people have posted that I am "confusing" them by posting in more than one thread. Look under "4 stroke" under "fuel pump, need auto expert" thread to see how I fixed the bike.

I'm not saying I'm a fuel pump expert.The pressure is about the same as OEM.Yes,it moves more fuel.Like I said,it been in a 08 510 for 6 months with no issues.I posted this information as help to fellow Husky riders.If you don't feel good about using this pump,then I would keep looking for other alternatives and share the information with us.

I saw a someone post up a little while ago on here that they had found a replacement pump.. Ill see if I can find it..

Searched for "replacement fuel pump" and found it instantly

Try PM'ing the original poster to get a hold of him...

The Jaguar fuel pump that you put into the Husky 510, was it this one?


Walbro Part Number: GCA338

Looks like the pump.I did not use a walbro pump from fuel pumps.com

You used the Denso 9510008, I finally deciphered your reference to that part number from your original post. I've posted the following list to another thread as being fuel pumps that I, myself, would buy and install in my bike, based on your experience and my seeing the pictures of the pumps at the car parts stores, its the same pump.

Thanks for your help, auto.

Good job OlderHuskyRider.

I myself and many more riders are coming forward with their own fuel pump failures. And im not talking just Husky riders. It's been over a year now that I had my own pump problems (below this thread is my story) so i've kept my head up in this subject and I think its great that alternatives are being sought.

I've heard of Honda, Kawi and Suzuki fuel pump failures and all are attributed to "crap" being sucked into them and wearing out the insides with debris. This crap is nothing we can see in gas and it's smaller than filters can filter, it's just going to happen. They will have to build pumps that can handle this debris. What I don't understand is, you can drive a fuel injected car for a lifetime without a pump failure, and we're getting maybe a year out of these??

C-ya Jim.

I think cars use a return line and that permits higher flow rates through the pump and larger beefier parts. High flow might permit better cooling, more lubrication, and be less critical for tolerances? They may also run more constant, less on/off to meet flow (throttle) demands since the bypass could keep fluids flowing. Seems like a (small) pump pushing into a dead end pipe intermittantly is a tougher job. Just my guess.

And if you add in the environment an off road pump sees, all kinds of shock in all directions, constantly, that surely weighs into the life I would think. I do not "think" these pumps are spec'd for the off road application necessarily, I bet they are purely spec'd out for their size, power specs, flow and rate req's and there is no "G" loading limitations etc.
