Love the crisp and clear flow chart diagnostic that is relatable to everyone regardless of above average skill needed. Also, man, I sure wish vehicles still used non-fuel tank pumps!

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks mate, really appreciate your kind support as awlays.. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@andrewgent5887]

Think I might have been tempted to check the continuity of the pump motor before stripping it down, it’s a dc motor so must have a resistance value, obviously the result would have been the same but would have perhaps given a more definitive answer to the problem.

[@tommylitchfield3450]

You know you're living right when your inevitable problems occur when you and your scooter are safe , sound, warm (or cool), and dry in the shop instead of a million miles from anywhere in the middle of the night in a snowstorm or in the middle of a burning desert. Zero headache or towing hassles. Yep, He is looking out for His own, methinks :)

[@bill_4359]

Yeah, you could not be more right. I have 2 motorcycles , truck and a car. All my batteries failed either in my garage or driveway. I must be living right I don't know how I lucked out. HaHa.

[@Moonfleet41]

Ha ha.. good points well made sir.. i am blessed when it goes like this.!

[@rickrogers2649]

Good job on jumping battery power directly to the pump because a test light only draws milliamps while the pump probably needs a couple of amps. It dosen't happen very often but occasionally compromised wiring will light a test light but fail under load. I learned that at Hardknock University. 😁😅🤣 Another great tutorial video Del and Penny. Peace and good health to you. ❤👍👍

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Rick, you're right, but im sure if there was still no life, when directly connected to the battery, which had enough ampage to crank the bike enthusiastically, it must be siezed inside.. and i just don't need the drama of breaking down on the road, so going to replace it for good measure.! Take care and havw a great week sir.. All thge besat form us both.. D&Pxx

[@brandywell44]

Much nicer having an outside the tank fuel pump instead of inside like a lot of manufacturers do now.

[@Moonfleet41]

Not so good for cooling though, right in the pit of the engine, much more efficient inside the tank.!

[@benrideout9583]

Hi del, Iv got a 99 busa and I completely stripped the fuel pump and replaced all 3 filters including the hard to get out one. I’m afraid after lots of research the only way I could get mine out was to break it up and bring it out in bits. Wasn’t a problem as it was being replaced. I also had to get the 3 filters through Suzuki genuine parts as they are so hard to find and are not cheap. You are able to clean them up especially the tiny tea bag filter if you don’t want to spend a fortune. Check out the Ameture bike builder video on it as it was quite useful. Any other questions just hit me up pal. Ben

[@Moonfleet41]

HI Ben.. Yes ive already seen the price of these items, not cheap indeed... but im working on a cost effective solution hopefully.. Thank you for your input mate.!

[@ozbusa]

That was awesome. Owning a Gen2, I've never seen a Gen1 pump assy pulled down. Now I get it. Thanks again. Lets hope service parts are available ..

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks mate, yeah, got a solution, not the one i was expecting, but sorted and back under way... next video Thursday evening.. Have a great week aye.

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

I feel a pain in the wallet coming

[@PaydayGabeBCNV]

😂👍,, right! I think he summed it up perfectly. " If parts are available". 🙏🏻

[@RenegadesGarage]

Delboy's Garage.. That is a weird design just to get to the fuel pump itself. Looks like it's going to be expensive too. Can't wait for part 2.

[@Moonfleet41]

Yeah, discontinued after just one year, i guess they thought better of it..lol!

[@rsbharley4766]

Hi Del & Penny, nice video video mate . I like the way the pump is not in the tank like lots of others that are in the tank, they can be a right pain to get out with all the plastic bits hanging of them. Cheers

[@Moonfleet41]

Yes indeed mate, it is so much easier to get to them.. like i recently said, those tank pumps with all the dangly bits on are like trying to feed a palm tree through your letter box..lol!

[@fader2701]

i rescued a 2008 sv650 from my wife's bosses garage. i did a full service, everything that was wearable. and in its first trip around the block the in tank fuel pump gummed up with varnish. all said and done was $1200. damn

[@JDnBeastlet]

Hiya Penny and Del, great video! Nice job on the diagnosis and isolating the fault. I hope parts are readily available! Take care, dear friends. Be well and ride safe.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks mate, yes, i eventually managed to get a solution, just not the one i was expecting.. just editing the footage for the result video on Thursday... Take care and have a great week, and thank you for your awesome suport as always..x

[@andyjrichie6709]

How odd, one day pump working, next day a little confusing head scratching, 😊, good job you wasn't on the road somewhere. Great video 😊

[@Moonfleet41]

Yes it was aye ! although they are more likely to freeze up after long periods laid up, far less likely when in constant use !

[@arnybarmy]

Now I know what that whirring noise is when I start the ignition on my Bonneville - lol. An interesting video Del - I like the logical search for the root cause! Love to you both!

[@Moonfleet41]

Exactly that, and if you leave it sat for long periods, or empty it, you'll get the gurgling and popping as it purges back up again. Thanks for your kind support as always. D&Pxx

[@carlzrx]

Ive recently re built my gen 1 fuel pump,brace yourself for the cost of the fuel filter,the main filter at the inlet of the pump is a absolute pain to get out but will come out,just be really careful,it is well worth doing though.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks for the insight mate, it's very much appreciated.!

[@EdgeDynamicsEnglishRazors]

Look forward to the second part.Thanks.

[@springy-2112]

I do hope it's cheaper than the vstrom one i did years back. There were knockoff ones but i didnt have the wotsits to risk it. I'm sure you've got it covered . Peace and love brother 👍 ✌️ 🧡

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks buddy, i never risk those knockoff parts, it never ends well, ive spent half my life replacing things like that for people who wanted to save a few bob, understandable of course, but they pay more in the end aye.!

[@tinks43]

I hope you’re able to source all the necessary parts. Good luck 🤞🏻

[@Moonfleet41]

Looks like i have a solution already, just got to get it all sorted then.! Always good to hear form you buddy.. Hope you're keeping well.

[@wobblysauce]

Some times a reverse polarity works.

[@Cueballproductions1149]

Nice video so glad ur working on the busa as these videos help with my busa what year is that busa also a spark plug video and air filter video be great 😌

[@Moonfleet41]

This is a very first generation model mate, 1999, the only year with this pump !

[@Cueballproductions1149]

@@Moonfleet41 I see do they do the 2005

[@paulradcliffe2391]

Nice informative video Del👍 Hope you manage to source the relevant parts 🤞 Keep up the brilliant work Del 'n' Pen 👍

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Paul, no dramas only challenges aye !

[@myz06rocks]

Based on the age and condition of everything, I’m kind of surprised it lasted as long as it did.

[@gcrockford8191]

Well that was different👍👍👍👍👍

[@ericverwey2642]

The fuel pump is the same as a polo or opel car... bochs fuel pump for the cars are the same

[@enduromotorradtouren]

Great video. First you have to find the defect(s), then buy service parts and a new pump. Looking forward to the rebuild. Cheers, Günter/Nürnberg

[@Moonfleet41]

That's the plan!

[@loganalomar9919]

I've had this scenario happen before. At least it was in the shop and you weren't left stranded or failed your MOT.

[@Moonfleet41]

Yes indeed, i guess it was plum luck it happened right here..!

[@jerryokeeffe9886]

Good video pal,all good information

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it.

[@customgaragemoto7590]

Thank you top du top 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@petecurran3995]

Top strategy, Del! 👌🏻

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks mate!

[@Rinkydink73274]

Educational Del..Great vid👍

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks 👍

[@ianatkinson8464]

[@me109g4]

Seems way over engineered for what it actually does,, but typical of todays designs.

[@Moonfleet41]

Can't argue with that mate!
