Hello,
I have a 2000 R1150GS that I picked up in Mid Ohio. It has 5500 miles on it. It's been sitting for quite a while. Changed the oil. Bought a new fuel pump kit. Drained the gas, I've seen worse. Put the gas in my lawn mower and it ran fine. Anyway, took the pump out. Looked it over. Some deterioration of the hoses. Thought I would put it back together while I awaited new hoses, (which I later found I had in the kit). Put some gas in it and it fired right up. Ran fine. Drove it up and down my 400 foot driveway for about 10 minutes and then the bike stopped working.
Would not start, cranked over fine. I could not hear the pump starting when I turned the key on so I decided to tackle installing the new pump. Noticed two fuses were blown under the seat, a 10 and 15 amp fuse. Replaced those.
Got the new pump in, wired it up, tank on, fueled up. Now I can hear the pump whir for about a second every time I turn the key on but no gas coming out under pressure in the two exit line. Should both of those lines hold pressure? One line has gravity fed gas coming out but not when the pump turns on for its one second, the other has nothing.
Any thoughts?
