fuel pump
fuel pump
Nasty smell of fuel after a long ride last night. I checked the hoses but it seems to be coming from the pump itself where the two parts are screwed together. Took it apart and there is a seal but can i replace? Also being a novice wityh a spanner I didnt look to see if the fuel send sits over the metal clip inside or wether thats the return. Its an 89 fzr1000 <br><br>Cheers<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

Cheers for the reply. It was a rubber gasket and the part is not available. Spoke to two mechanics and they both said they didnt think you could use sealant cause its in fuel all the time.

Re: fuel pump
Yup. Probably best to get another one.
