Fuel pump question.

Post by Homer » Sun Jul 24, 2011 1:32 am

Here's a question for those who know more about this stuff than me, which is everybody!

Why does the TRX need a fuel pump?

This is the first bike I've owned that runs a fuel pump, and I was wondering why its needed if the tank is situated above the carbys?

Is it a fuel quantity issue? Big bore road bikes of the eighties didn't need them, so why does the TRX?

Thanks in advance again.

The bottom of the TRX tank is lower than the float bowls. ( I think :lol: )
Cheers,
Alan.

Your right Big Al, It wasn't obvious because I had the tank off the bike. Trouble is now theres no power to the starter circuit. Guess I'll have to do some chasing tomorrow with the multimeter.
