[QUOTE="SkooterG, post: 1471394, member: 118"] Interesting. In my experience with 21 different FJRs over the years and 700k miles on them......... - Fuel pump O-rings don't go bad. Or should I say 'rarely' do. I have an '04 FJR with 212k miles on it's original. No way an '18 should be bad. Unless.... the idiots that worked on it pinched it or damaged it somehow. - Starter relays don't go bad either. I've never replaced one. - Fuel pump - ouch! Pricey bastards. I would have looked for a used on ebay. I've never had one fail on any of my FJRs. That being said, I've had to replace two on project FJRs I bought where they sat for extended period of time and tank and fuel pumps rusted. What is 'voltage a little lower than he would like' with the bike running. That is useless information! I though by now we had you trained better than that! What, specifically is it reading? I can't remember, you DO have a voltmeter, don't you? Low voltage (under 9v or so) while turning over can also be a bad starter but with an '18 I would think that is not the problem. I am glad you got it resolved. I am glad you got a good mobile tech. But....... following some of the collective's simple advice that we had given you would have resolved all this days ago! For cheap! [/QUOTE]
