I've been fighting this on my 89 for some time. When I turn the key on, sometimes the fuel pump runs for the given 5 seconds as the older model Max's will. Sometimes it will go click, click and be done.
Once the engine is at operating temp, I can turn the key on and off a dozen times and it will normally run the fuel pump for the 5 seconds each time. I've had the air box off and watched. It doesn't overflow. I reinstalled the valve cover plastic shield on the rear cylinders in an attempot to block some of the heat. Seems to be of no help...
I've been through the entire fuel system including opening the fuel pump to verify that everything is in place and in good shape. Everything in the fuel system has been cleaned or replaced.. The bike is finally running great but this and a few other minor things are driving me nuts.
Others have said their older Max's do or had done the exact same thing. CaptainKyle said one of his drove him crazy but he never found out what caused the pump to act this way..
Help!!!! Somebody's got to know more about this........
