Fuel Pump Replacement

Thanks for those pics! That stuff looks brand new. Since you have an '05 I guess I can get another 5 years out of mine.
 
And I'll add that a universal joint socket adapter will make getting around the frame to the front spark plugs much easier, too. Just changed all my plugs a few months ago. I was dreading that job, but it ended up being pretty straight forward. I had to replace a coil wire and boot, so figured with the tank off, might as well do the plugs while in there. You can get a set at Harbor Fright for $10.
a set of plugs for $10 wow can you get me 3 sets.
:laugh:
 
Parts are on the way. Fuel Pump Factory shipped within two hours. Hermy's has the rest of the order. Picked up plugs at O'Reilys this morning along with the magnetic plug socket, thanks so much for the information. I had been using an old 14mm socket from some from motorcycle tool kit that a 17mm socket fit the top. The magnetic part is going to be a time saver, no more fuel hose to pull the plug from the last few threads.
 
I highly recommend the magnetic 18mm socket. I changed out plugs this morning, with a swivel adapter and extension, piece of cake. I restore and have a couple of Honda CB750K's, it will be great for plugs 2 and 3 in the dead zone', almost impossible to change out without cursing at least once....

Oh, man! I bought a 1978 CB750K brand new. Did all my own work on it. Sure wish I still had it!!
Curious where you got them...
 
Bolted everything back up this morning and installed the unit with a new pump, all new hoses, and seal. Put a little gas in the tank and hit the starter, fired immediately. The K&N's are sitting in the sun drying after a good wash before new oil, so I ran down to the gas station with naked throttle bodies to refill the tank and test the low on fuel dash light. Everything works and **** it sounds good when you open it up. running el natural. Sorry I didn't take any shots, but nothing much to see. You have to work one section at a time when installing the fuel hose and have everything positioned perfectly when putting the unit back in the tank, I hate to venture a guess what the repair would have cost if done at the dealership. Hope this helps if anyone else has the pleasure of replacing the pump or filter. Attaching some 750K shots, the light blue one is my knock around bike, had it for few years now, I am the second owner with low miles, it is not going anywhere. Tt sat in a connex for 25 years in Tennessee before coming home to Virginia. A couple of other shots of completed ones that have gone on to new owners and the one on the lift is currently starting the process of coming back to the land of the living. Long story short, I picked it up in Spruce Pine North Carolina three days before the hurricane hit, **** glad I went down early. The seller is still in the process of recovering. I used to pay three to five hundred bucks for a project bike a few years back, they have become quite collectable and projects are really getting harder to find plus costing a lot more now days.......

Well, you are quite the ambitious fellow! Nice!
Just for the heck of it here's the only picture I have left of the one I had. It was a nice maroon color that doesn't show up well in the pic.
