Fuel Pump issues
My bikes been in pieces for a couple of weeks now. I installed a new fuel pump (there was a post about a month ago or so) and the fuel pump quit pumping about 120 miles or so after the install stranding me in Prescott, AZ. After taking it all apart again all the clamps (recycled) were still holding, but the fuel pump didn't turn with power directly to it.
Hammersly was kind of enough to offer to send me a replacement, but here's my question. Is there any way that my install could have lended to this issue or do fuel pumps sometimes come defective?
Any accounts by someone with experience a similar issue or something that can shed some light on this situation would be appreciated.
I'm tempted to just take the new pump, gas tank and rest of the assembly to the local shop and make sure it is done correctly for peace of mind, but would like to save the cash if this is no fault of my own.
