Ok. I'm desperate.

My car broke.  I'm about to sell this bike for far less than it's worth because I need the money.  But if I can get it working, then at least I have transportation again and might be able to work far away.

Would anyone be willing to do a skype session with me where I show you the part and what I am doing and you tell me where I am supposed to do whatever?  I work in IT meaning I do IT Project management. I know how to build a computer but I buy a motherboard and other things and put them together.  I don't solder motherboards. LOL.  I just don't want to do more damage than is already done.  The bike has been sitting in the garage for three years now.  I have a new battery I got six months ago that just needs a charge.  If I can fix this and put it back together, I think she should start up once I throw in a little gas in the tank.

I will put up a webcam, show it on the part, and we can skype or whatever and you tell me what to do.  It looks like less than a 20 min fix if you know what you're doing.

Thanks!

-V-

P.S.  I will buy the soldering kit.

Buller... Buller...

I'm sorry I can't help - simply not enough know how.

I think my suggestion for the cheapest-help-route was good, but if funds are seriously limited....  In my club, this would have been done a long time ago. Did we talk about getting in touch with the nearest club?

No.  I am not part of the club anymore because I didn't like sitting at the bar and drinking.




I'll keep digging around. Someone must have done this online and took photos or something.

No one can teach you to solder via Skype. It's like welding, painting, or any other skill.

Buy the soldering kit, and practice. Then the actual job will be simple to explain.

I was not asking someone to teach me how to solder.  That looks pretty easy to do.  I don't know what wire goes where. That's the problem.  Not actually sodering.  I am a visual person.  If the directions aren't explicit, I don't understand.  I know this seems simple to everyone else on here but it isn't to me.

Ducpainter suggested using a metal filter (NO SOLDERING!!!)

https://www.amazon.com/3032-NAPA-Gold-Fuel-Filter/dp/B00K24P6TO   (probably/maybe correct product)

That filter is waaaaay cheaper at NAPA.

I already bought a  filter.  I have everything.  I just don't know what to do with the MF-ing wires!!!

Did you buy a steel filter?

No its the same Ducati part.  Plastic.

Ducpainter said NO SOLDERING if you use a metal filter. I think that's a solution....

When I say I am broke, I am broke.  I don't have money to buy more parts.  I'm eating green meat and ramen.    I have the filter and the soldering kit and the sleeves now.

Update:

So I contacted where I bought the original part and sent them photos.  They told me that in fact, that is the wrong part. 

They told me to go here:

Unfortunately, I don't have the money to buy another part right now but it's nice to see that there is the part that looks exactly like mine.

 

They wouldn't accept a return and refund?

Ask Chris at CCW if he will take your part in (part) exchange for a new and correct?
