TT-(Moderator) 1,162 #2 Posted January 17, 2010 They've been unavailable over here for quite some time too, Wes. You'll either need to purchase the plastic pump, scour old dealers and hope they still have a kit on the shelf, or look for a NOS or good used pump. Sorry I didn't have good news. Hope all is well otherwise! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikesRJ 558 #3 Posted January 17, 2010 That depends on which fuel pump you have. If it's a Makuni fuel pump, then the kits run between 10-20 here in the US. The whole pump assy. is about $35.00. With the current exchange rate it's a steal for you. http://www.google.com/products?hl=en&q=Koh...ved=0CCQQrQQwAg http://www.mfgsupply.com/m/c/22-10876.html A pictures worth a thousand words (right from the K241 IPL): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TT-(Moderator) 1,162 #5 Posted January 17, 2010 You can fit a vacuum fuel pump to your Raider if you fabricate a block-off plate to bolt over the opening for your current pump. Drill a hole in the center of the plate and attach a fitting for the vacuum hose to "power" the pump. Should be an easy one for you , Wes..... I've seen some of your work. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buckrancher 2,694 #8 Posted January 18, 2010 Hi Wes If the diaphram is ok(hold it up to a light and look for a small hole by stretching the rubber and looking for light) the little round pucks may be wore and not sealing if the two small springs are good you can sand the pucks with some 2000 grit paper on a piece of glass I've gotten them working again by doing that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wesley 32 #9 Posted January 20, 2010 Thanks will have a look at the pump before l convert another type , now its in the workshop will also improve the hand clutch/brake and make a decent exhaust and sort out the long running key switch plug , still seing that the little horse has pulled in about 30 tons of fire wood in the last few months its due some work on it , so she will be ready for more wood this spring, thanks for all your help out there. wes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
