I've had a bit of an adventure this past week. My fuel pump was gonig bad, the performance suffered first.
I looked the spark plugs over and found they were white, not tan, means they're hot. Could be too hot a plug range or too lean
air-fuel ratio. It was too lean fuel ratio, the pump was going bad. I got a new fuel filter from Honda East in Toledo. Carl from St. Cloud Cycles
got me a fuel pump for a Honda car, it has the same part number as the motorcycle pump, but costs $350 less. It looked the same and bolted right in.
It has 100,600 miles now and I was considering selling, I've been eyeing a Concours 14, I'm not so sure now.....
It sure runs better when it gets the proper amount of fuel!
