Bike has been bucking a bit in 2nd or 3rd gear. Thought I might take the tank off and the fuel pump out to see if there was anything clogging it up.
Took the tank off, without the bracket, using the 4 bolts. Took the pump out, took it mostly apart. The three screws near the bottom... I think I put them back "Black/Red/Blue" There was another black lead that was significantly shorter, and I screwed it to one of the posts that hold it together, (one of the posts that slides into the black plastic.)
The strainer and bottom reservoir area where the strainer sits was pretty gross, so I cleaned that out. I didn't touch the gas float or anything there. I took everything else apart though.
I put it all back together as I think I could.
I put the tank back on, plug the harness in, as well as the fuel line. Then I re-attach the two rubber lines at the ass end of the tank and route them back where they go.
I turn the key, I hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds, and I hit the starter. It starts for about a second and a half, then it shuts off. I try this a few more times, and then prop the tank back up. I check the fuel line, and it's not kinked. I check the drain lines, and they're straight. I made sure all the connections that need to be connected are. I didn't mess with the tip over sensor, but I flicked it a few times to make sure the ring was centered.
Before taking the tank off and checking the pump, the bike started just fine. It never stalled either, even when riding it. I just wanted to check to see why it was bucking in lower gears at about 4k rpm.
The fuel pump is making a deeper noise than it has before, but I thought it might be doing that because I cleaned the nasty strainer.
I don't know what to do. Someone help.
