Daft r1 fuel pump question!
chrsgrain - 4/4/08 at 04:41 PM

Hi all,

Just got the R1 pump for my bike carb install - stupid question - which way round does it go!? Which hole in in, and which one out? The other way of working it out is, I've still got the original filter attached, is that a prepump or post pump filter???

Thanks

Chris

Pour fuel in the pump // wire it to a battery and mind your eyes

Hope its not an injection pump....

Filter is pre pump.

NOTE, its also worth putting one post pump too.

the filter is most likely to have been fitted before the fuel enters the pump to protect it from wear.

pah beaten to it ^^^ oh well least I gave an explanation

Filter is tank side, just been putting the tank cover on my R1 so checked for you...

Thanks guys,

I've already got a pre and post pump filter, so will take the small one off this pump - at least I know which way round to fit it now!
