I think I've seen snap rings like those in your bag, but smaller and then not 360 degrees - if they are only 270 degrees they look like an 'e'. I'm guessing that's where the name comes from. Again, not sure, but I think they should be replaced with new.

We are now at an impass.

I went to Auto Zone- no hose clamps that small.  When to Lowe's- None that small.

Left the part in my garage as I can't deal wtih that smell anymore.  Anyone link me something on Amazon that I can use for the clamps?  Won't work on this again until maybe Friday.

You want clamps rated for fuel injection. :)

If the ones I found aren't suitable (is that what you're saying koko?), I'm sorry. It was a quick search - maybe too quick...

The one you linked will work fine.

IF OP wants well known brand (products), Amazon also sells this (By Breeze/Norma)

The clamp can be found at NAPA (locally).


Isn't it better to take the stuff with you to the store, making sure what size you need and buy?

yep, these are preferred for fuel injection, the others can cut into hose.  Any decent auto parts store will stock them.  Auto zone does not qualify foe decent.

It was all that was open at the time I found out I needed that too.

Doesn't matter, I'm broke now until payday.  I did find that Moto Guild place however- it was near NAPA. I chatted with them for a second.

Yes, I do want to derby to this topic because I left it for two years... LOL.

Now I am trying to finally fix it. This is where I left off. I have a little time right now and I really need the bike again.  Watch the video- you'll see why I got thrown off.

Any ideas? 

Thanks!

I remember running into the same issue with my S2R. Let me dig up my thread on it... Man, I've been MIA too. Hope everyone is doing well!

OK here's the thread: http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?PHPSESSID=98safijffqrtfdg4fbulus9753&topic=71783.msg1324795#msg1324795

Since the new replacement wiring harness does not have the extra ground wire like the original piece on your fuel pump, I took everything back to the moto shop where I bought the new part. All they did was:

1. Back out the negative wires on both the old and new wiring harnesses.
2. They clipped the old "extra ground wire" at the connection from the original piece.
3. On the new wiring harness they backed out the negative wire from the plug, removed the negative female spade connector.
4. Then with a new female spade connector, crimped the "extra wire" into the new connection.
(Apologies to the electrical engineers for my lack of proper terminology.)

They basically transplanted that wire into the new wiring harness plug. Then it was all a matter of putting everything back together. No fueling issues since.

Have faith, it can be done and you will get it back together!

MsTek

Considering I bought the parts two years ago, I doubt they will take it back and I had to mail order it.

I see what you are saying but unless I have a diagram I have no idea what you are saying. ;D

No need to return it. Just need a new female spade connector that will fit into the black plug, a wire crimper, maybe some picks to back out the spade connectors from the black plugs.

Probably a good idea to wait until you can get into that garage and have the help available from the mechanic. If the bike has been sitting that long it definitely needs everything checked over.

If you can source a metal filter, there is no need for the extra ground. The plastic filter is what necessitated the ground wire.
