I am using the RPM fuel pump on my 1986 that I converted from gravity fed to fuel pump. It works fine I have like 2,000 miles on it with no issues.

I can take pics tomorrow if that helps

I have a question about converting my 1985 FJ1100 from gravity flow to a fuel pump.  I am confused.

The carbs were sent to RPM to be converted and I ordered the fuel pump sold by RPM

Today Randy at RPM called to discuss work on my carbs, and the topics of what fuel pump is appropriate and what diameter fuel line to use came up. I understood from Randy that the RPM fuel pump is NOT suitable for the conversion and that a fuel pump with a larger diameter opening should be acquired as should larger diameter fuel line.  (I cancelled the pump sold by RPM as a result).

The two-part article on the fuel pump conversion specifically references using the RPM fuel pump and fuel line, which leads to my confusion. 

Can anyone help unconfuse me here?  Pat Conlon, Randy mentioned that you use a different pump than RPM's that has a larger diameter output.  Perhaps I missing something here, but I thought the fuel pump used a smaller diameter output than the gravity flow did.

Sorry to visit my confusion on y'all,

Steve

It doesn't have a Yamaha sticker. I dont know if its exactly the same size as the FJ1100 sticker but it looks like it must be close.

Perfect.  Thanks

Where are you?

There are a couple of graphics people in the UK who sell reproduction graphics.

I'm in Canada.  I've found at least two outfits in Europe that have these decals, in various sizes.  I'm ready to order, just need to know the size...

Ah, OK - do the graphics suppliers not know the size and font of the text?

No they don't

Great suggestion Red!
For one step process I'll see if there is a silver color close to the FJ's silver, if not then use it as a primer and top coat with Argent Silver.

I'm ready for a respray on my '84 frame.
Here's how the "UV resistant"urethane clear coat yellowed over 50k miles in 12 years. I'm not happy.
I park in my garage but nevertheless, the desert sun is unforgiving.



No more "UV resistant" clear coats for me.

I used JB Weld epoxy putty to clean up the ugly bracket weld, normally hidden under the side reflector.
No Bondo in that area, won't last.

Looks good
