[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 188047, member: 4617"] During the survey of the new to me bike in Ontario, my brother and I determined a new fuel pump was needed. We did this by checking the power circuit to the fuel pump. One of the questions that came up was how does the fuel system on the '85 Limited Edition and probably the '86 SEi, work. When we checked the bike, there was power to the fuel pump for a few seconds then it was off. Since we did not get the bike started, we couldn't determine what happened when started. Did a check of my '85 LTD here in Victoria. Found that the fuel pump was cycled as soon as the ignition switch was turned on to pressurize the fuel system then the power was turned off by the CFI system. Power to the fuel pump was turned on as soon as the bike was started. I knew the fuel pump would come on and pressurize the system, but I was not sure of how the sequence was done by the bike. You can hear the fuel pump come on, pressurize the system, and shut down. You don't hear the fuel pump come on once the bike is started. This information further corroborates the need for a new fuel pump. On another thread I have, there has been an active dialogue regarding replacement fuel pumps for these FI models. Walbro, Airtex, and other models have been found to have acceptable replacement fuel pumps. I have bought an Airtex E8312 fuel pump that has specs that should make it an acceptable substitute for the OEM fuel pump. More to follow on this as the process to get this bike roadworthy unfolds.
