That'll be great if it does, will save me £50 and the risk of getting a dud from ebay!

We differ here obviously, but whatever you think it quite clearly hadn't put an electron wrong, and despite this it was suggested and accepted as a possible problem despite all the evidence, and Phil was prompted to disassemble the rear end of his bike for sod all.

I've spent all week dissembling 3 bikes for no reason other than unneeded fettling so I'm not that put out by it, plus I got to learn about the workings of the alarm and what each wire does for future reference!

No on to disassembling the fuel pump to try to make it work before I swap in the gixer one!

Well, the problem has sorted itself out now! I basled the ignition on and off about 20 times this morning and nothing. Decided to clean out the pump this afternoon but thought I'd check the ignition again and hey presto, the fuel pump primed. Fired up first time too so I now don't need to strip anymore of the bike down. Rebuilt the bike and took it for a spin and it's running sweet as, although it has managed to get stuck in gear now, but that's a problem for another thread!

Cheers all for their help, no matter how useful or useless it was!

Regards

Just an update in this.

The problem has manifested itself once again as the bike has been parked up for a couple of years. This time I decided to bite the bullet and remove the pump.

My plan was to give it a clean up in my parts cleaner and try to flush it somehow. Once I removed it though I have found the problem. One of the ring connectors (the one on the black wire that mounts half way up the pump) has rotted, leaving a loose wire.

I have a question. Is it okay just to use a normal metal ring connector and refit the pump, or should there be some kind of coating/special material for the connector?

Regards
Phil

Normal connector will be fine.

I used a standard connector but it still didn't work. Then I found the other two connectors were corroded too so I replaced these...but it still didn't work.

I chopped it out for a GSXR pump I had spare and it now works. I will strip the pump down sometime soon to see if I can sort it out to keep for a spare.
