hey guys fuel pump took a dump on me.the bike is a 96 600 and im too cheap to buy a yamaha one for this old of bike. woould a fuel pump from the parts store work? i found one at my local oreillys 4-7 psi pump. is that still too much pressure? they also have a regulator that goes from 1-6 psi.i know that the pump runs for like 5 sec. then shuts off then its sposed to run again once bike is started,but does it run all the time its running? i see there are no return line so what happends if it gets too much fuel? thats why i was kinda wondering about an aftermarket pump. i could find a used one but who knows if itll work for than a day or two. any info or knowledgewould be greatly appreciated.

The short answer? Yes that one will work. The long answer? The pump Yamaha put on these bike ran at roughly 5 psi if I remember correct. I've seen a few 1000's running on VW pumps with no issues. We had 1 member here using a Mr Gasket similar to this one (<- Click there) with no issues. As long as the pressure is within spec you should be with the pump you found.

so does the fuel pump run the entire time the bike is running?or does the digital ignitor control it every so often? oh the pump i found was identical to the pic.
