Replacement
of the fuel pump |
De reparatie
van m'n oude brandstofpomp heeft het maar een paar honderd kilometers
volgehouden, dus ik moest op zoek |
The
repair on my original fuel pump only lasted for a few hundred kilometers,
so I had to find a suitable replacement. I could buy an old pump at a motorbike scrapyard for € 75. But then you never know how reliable it is. At my local automotive supply shop (Brezan) I could buy this universal fuel pump, which cost me ± € 85 (early 2009). Their part number is: 160-QFP171E. I entered the part no. in google and quite soon found someone who claimed to have done 50.000 km with this pump on his Varadero. |

Hier moet de slang gemonteerd worden die naar de carburateurs gaat. 3 = Als je deze twee schroeven losdraait, kan je de aansluitingen 1 & 2 verdraaien. Opmerking: de pomp moet zo gemonteerd zijn dat de persaansluiting hoger dan de zuigaansluiting zit. |

De pomp
kan op dezelfde plaats in de motorfiets gemonteerd worden. Als je
de rubber manchet eerst met wat talk-poeder Omdat
de orginele pomp 10 mm aansluitingen had en de nieuwe pomp 8 mm aansluitingen,
moest ik verloopjes maken. |
The
new pump can be fitted in the same position as the old pump. If you
put some talcum powder on the rubber sleeve, the pump will slide in easily. I shortened the fuel tube to the carburettors (no.1). First I made a shallow cut in the rigid outer tube using a sharp knife. Don't cut through the outer tube or you might damage the inner (rubber) tube. The outer tube will break at the position of the cut if you bend it. The flexible inner tube won't damage that way. Slide the broken end off. I also shortened the inner, rubber tube. The piece I cut off was re-used (no.3). The tube between the tank and the filter (no.2) was also shortened. Because the original Honda-pump had 10 mm connections and the new one has 8 mm connections, I had to make some kind of adapters. For this I used clear petrol tube (Out. 11mm/In 7 mm) and small copper tubes (no.4). First I inserted the copper tubes into the ends of the clear petrol tube. Then the clear tube was inserted into the end of the original petrol tubes. Seal it with a hose-clamp. Because of the copper inner tubes it won't get squashed. If the tubes are a bit warmer (use a hair dryer), then they will fit a bit better. |

Dit
zijn de gebruikte inschuifbusjes. Deze worden vaak gebruikt bij het
monteren van persluchtslangen. |
These are the copper inner tubes. They are often used when fitting air
pressure hoses. |

orginele stroom kabel gewoon doorgeknipt en verlengd met stroomdraad
met twee universele kabelschoentjes eraan. |
