hi all, mark h in mesa arizona here. is there a non-stock replacement fuel pump
available for my '86 gl1200 interstate? the local shop wants $185 for a new oem one.
mine has always made a dull clicking noise when operating but lately the sound has
changed to a more metallic clicking sound and i'm thinking that the pump may be
going out on me. also, the tech at this shop tells me that if the pump actually fails
i can bypass it, connect the fuel supply line directly to the carbs and that the bike
will run normally as long as the gas tank is kept at least 2/3 full. any truth to this?
thanks in advance for any info or suggestions.
