Breva V1100 Fuel Pump

[hovent]

Took out the fuel pump to see what the problem was and it’s obvious! Is there a rebuild kit? Or just easier to find one online? (Not cheap)

Any ideas… it is pretty shot and all gummed up.

As far as I know these are sold as units and can not be rebuilt. I had broken the red elbow off of mine and wasn't able to replace just that piece. I had to order u the entire unit which was quite costly and, as I recall, took a while to receive. In the mean time I replaced the broken elbow with a threaded barb fitting to get me by while I waited. When the new pump arrived I swapped them out. Still have the "fixed" fuel pump but sold the bike last year.

Well, found one on ebay cost me $225 with shipping....  Hope this does the trick! Now to get that ugly scum out of my tank.  Luckily our Breva has a plastic tank!

Any good solutions for that disgusting scum left from the bad gas in the tank?

The scum is from E-10 fuel gone bad, best to use non ethanol. All I use cept for the Jeep, even then I use a conditioner.

No disrespect meant, but this sounds like a ridiculous level of paranoia to someone who has spent a couple of decades living in states where non-E10 is almost impossible to get so it's all just about everyone uses in everything around here.

The scum is from FUEL gone bad, even the non-E10 will leave deposits if left long enough.

Yeah yeah, I think E10 is probably even worse in storage, but it still takes time.

There's no need for conditioner unless something is going to sit for more than just a few weeks at a time.

I say this because of our cars, our bikes, and our boats...and everyone else's in much of the northeast.

I am paranoid about my fuel. The stuff has really gotten nasty. I forgot not everyone can get real gas.
My float bowls are clean at least, bikes may sit for few months if I don't keep swapping them around.
I wonder what the tank looks like. I just got done doing a tank on a Quota, sat or 17yrs BUT real gas ran in his lawn mower(he says). Lot of junk hard after I got taps off. Haven't gone back to see if pump survived. Waiting on the owner, no hurry I guess it's already been 17yrs.
