  • fuel pump issue / please explain/2001 SX 250

    2001 SX 250 >>>Let me say That I think I have resolved the issue , but I don't understand the reasoning. So maybe someone could explain it to me.. .. The initial problem was an engine dieing at higher speed.... I found the middle fuel pump leaking out the back side and I replaced all three....after about a few days of normal operation, the engine would die after a few minutes of idling and not start. ..Pumping the ball would get it to start again and if i went to high speed right away, the engine would run fine. Back to idle speed for a few minutes, the engine would stall out again... I found the VST to be empty. ...Checking the pumps again, I found that blowing into the outlet of the top pump would allow minimal air to escape. the other two were air tight...So I replaced (again) the top pump. ...This seams to have solved the problem as I had the engine idling over a half hour....SO !!! I would think that one fuel pump may give me a problem at higher speeds... Why wouldn't the middle and lower pumps supply enough fuel to the VST to run at low speed... ????

    cause all three have to work as they share common inlets and outlets.
