So, I was driving, down the road, and my truck started to act as if it was running out of fuel................it did it about 30 seconds, just long enough for me to pull over, and let it idle (re-lube my poor injection pump) and say *(&^^%#%^$&*(@$^#^...............
I tried it again, and it runs fine, like bat out of hell, 35 pounds of boost, black smoke, the whole nine yards.
Ten minutes later, when I went to shut it off, well? It wont shut off without me pulling the mechanical kill.

Strange coincidence? Or id my pump on the fritz or something?

Someone did tell me turning in the screw as far as it will go will kill my pump.

Sounds like the fuel shut off solenoid to me. It should be the part that the two wires goto on the back of the pump.

Pull your fuel selinoid and gut it. The trash from the end of it just went through your injection system! That's cool. Throw a pull cable on there and join the club.

Oh special.

It has one on the front of the pump, with a fuel line running through it, or some kind of line.........and the one on the back.

The kill it on top of the rotor, right?

O well

Yep! That's what happens. I pulled mine out when I removed the afc just as a precaution.

So, if I pull it now, is there any way to get that crap out of there without taking the damn thing apart? The 11MPG my gas trucks getting, and my buell acting like an ass is killing my pocketbook!

Sorry, no way to truly clean it. Pull it and start the thing and see if it runs? You could pull the lines and DV's and clean them if you like but put the same DV's back exactly like they were.

get a budy to start the truck while you hold the mechanical shot off back

leave the electric sylinoid out, maby wear googles, and you might need to blead you injection lines after

that should flush some crap out for you

That is a good one to file away in the old brain for just such occassions.
