No, those are mine, and yes that shock is available.


Pm me price and mileage?

Expensive week.

Purchased so far -

Belts
FCR's
Gas cap o-ring
fuel pump
fuel filter
5 gallons of Evapo-Rust
1 gallong of POR-15 Cleaner/Degreaser (Formally known as Marine Clean)

Still to buy-
fork seals-bushings-springs
Spring compressor and clip (shim?  whatever tf that thing is called that holds the spring down)
submersible fuel hose

What else?  Surely I'm forgetting something.

Where did you find a low pressure in tank fuel pump?

Lots of googling and part number crossing lead me to this pump from airtex (e2487)

https://www.rockauto.com/en/parts/airtex,E2487,fuel+pump,6256

5-7psi

I'm kinda rolling the dice on this working but it wasn't a lot of money so I'm not out a lot if it isn't right.

Is the fuel pump precautionary, or is there a problem with the original?

Every bit of the fuel system has sediment strewn through it. The pump was cheap, I got another filter and am replacing all the hoses (in tank and out)

I don't want problems and now is the time to make sure I'm set.

I'd flush some fresh fuel through the OEM pump and run it.

Those things are bullet proof. Keep the Airtex for the very unlikely chance you'll need it.

That's just me. ;D

Anyone know what fuel pressure the OEM pump puts out?

Never heard a number.

Google is no good on that statistic.

I don’t know the original pump fuel pressure, but carburetors seem to like 5-7psi from my car building days.

Probably because no one ever measured it.

The common consensus is the Monster vacuum pumps were in the 3 psi range. The fact that the SS uses a return should preclude the possibility of the 5-7 psi range of the Airtex pump being a problem.

Don't worry...be happy. ;D

The other carb bikes don't use a return?

The ones with vacuum pumps do not.

The vacuum pump produces fuel in spurts coinciding with vacuum pulses in the manifolds. It's kind of a self regulating system because it isn't constant flow, or pressure. The SS was the 'race bike' of the day and needed more consistent fuel flow so Ducati mounted an in tank pump and used a return to avoid overwhelming the floats during low use situations.

IMO, in an SS configuration all the pump is doing is making sure there's fuel sitting in the line waiting to trickle past the float valve.
