pump

Here is a bunch of pictures I took of a 1st gen Venture fuel pump a week ago just for S&G's. The VMax is very similar, but I don't know for sure. Just offering this as maybe some help in understanding the mysterious fuel pump. It is not a really technical description below, but the basic...

A couple weeks back I got gas and forgot to switch from "reserve" to "on". I rode about 70 miles with no problems at all. After about 4 hours I got back on and it started, but sounded sluggish. When I went to drive off it just plain died and I couldn't get it to re-start. I even used some...

So, bare with me guys, im new to the max....so there i was trying to figure out what was wrong with my bike...it wouldnt start...just heard a click from the cdi box...also, i did not hear the pump turn on when i turned the key and i figured it out the click...the ground from the cdi box to the...

So i fired bike up today to put fuel in it. It ran great the other night and tonight it acted like it was missing on 1 or 2 cylinders. I got back and thought ignition as I just put an ignitech unit in the other night that i rode it. So i checked spark at all 4 COP's and all of them had...

Anybody come up with a fuel pump that will work with the max???If not Ill be experimenting soon..

Howdy everyone, recently came across a smokin' deal with a few glitches...89 chain drive long rod 1428 with 39 fcr keihins from pcw...been quite a while since I have played around with a carb'ed bike. Bike fuel pump does work, but only momentarily, and carbs dont really seem to supply much fuel...

I have to replace my 8 year old sump pump and I want to get any experts out there opinion. Since my basement is on a high point in a all coarse sand area and is very dry. I do not even have drain pipe on the outside of my basement foundation so the sump only gets used to pump water from a...

Does anyone change this seal without replacing the stuff on the other side of it (oil seal , bearing). I can't remember if it can be removed without removing the bearing and oil seal first.

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...

Someone replaced the stock pump with this one, Mr. gasket Micron 42S in line.....Is it OK or should I go stock ?? it seems to be wired to the relay and it uses the included filter on the suction side, Thoughts....

My 89 Again.... Neverending Terror Stories... If i were to let the bike set for any length of time, I'd expect the fuel level to drop in the carbs and the fuel pump would run for 5 seconds at "Key On". Then, I'd expect the pump to run at start up until the carbs filled up. If I shut the bike...

Got back from a short ride yesterday and noticed a small drip of green antifreeze coming out of a small hold under the water pump. I understand in most cars this is a drain hole indicator which means the water pump bearing are starting to wear out causing the seal to leak. This bike only has a...

As I start to dream of spring, I remember last fall my water pump on my 2004 vmax was quite noisy on start up, (right side squeek) and the bike would slowly heat up to a point that was higher than before. In my falltime laziness I didn't bother to change it, or even order parts. My question...

This is what's happening with my 89. I've been fighting this for a week now. The fuel pump relay basically controls and directs when the fuel pump operates. There are only 5 inputs / 1 output. 1. A hard ground. (input) 2. Power to the relay when switched to reserve. (input) 3. A ground...

I may need some input on an Aftermarket Fuel Pump for my 89. That'll be my user mod if my fuel pump STB. I'll ask for your help first. I installed a new fuel filter before anything else. The one that was there was really crapped up. Turn the switch to main tank and the pump may or may not run...

For the past couple weeks I've been trying to track down an issue with my fuel pump. I was getting current to the fuel pump relay, but not out to the pump. So, I replaced the fuel pump relay. Now, I'm getting current to the fuel pump, but it's not clicking away as it should (I disconnected...

This thing is being an absolute BITCH coming out. Any suggestions. It is already destroyed. The bearing is out and the seal underneath is out. Just cant get the housing out. :bang head::bang head::bang head:

k, time to bring out my stupid.... Will a water pump from an '88 fit my '02? If not, what year parts is my starting point?
