Hi all,

I've had a problem for the last 6 months of my SV650S k3 not priming (fuel pump not whirring) and the fuel pump relay rapidly clicking (sounded like a continuous sound like hard drives read/writing).

I've had battery changed some bits rewired. More recently the garage checked the fuel pump resistance and found it was 1.3Ohms which I hear is low. A new fuel pump assembly costs a ridiculous amount so I've bought just the pump with the intent of taking the assembly apart and changing the pump over.

Will solve the problem? Why would a low resistance on the pump cause the relay to click at the rapid rate it was?
Thanks for any replies
