[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1362100, member: 19880"] Fuel pump problems are rare with the FJR. Something to check is the condition of your tank! If it is rusty (or dirty), the inlet screen on your tank can get plugged and you will get symptoms as you describe. Initial surge of fuel and trickle. There was an extreme case of this some time ago - I'll see if I can find it. Edit: [URL="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/114439-plugged-fuel-filter/page-1?hl="]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/114439-plugged-fuel-filter/page-1?hl=[/URL] rust pump There were some pictures but I can't find them. A link to RadioHowie's pictures [URL="https://www.halllakeland.com/rex/fjr/pump.htm"]https://www.halllakeland.com/rex/fjr/pump.htm[/URL] Edit again: If you check the tank condition and there is any evidence of crap, you may want to have a look at the fuel injectors while you're at it. Crud that makes it past the inlet filter on the pump can plug injectors. FJR does not have a separate fuel filter. [/QUOTE]
