[Ducati] 900 SS Fuel Pump

[Jim Calandro]

On all the bikes I have had the pump will run and then stop.  That is when 
the fuel pressure is built up to the specification and I start the bike at 
this point.  The pump should run after that to keep the pressure where it 
needs to be.  I am assuming you are referring to the run and stop before you 
start the bike and a continuous run is not normal.  It could be a bad pump 
or a bad pressure switch.  I would say you need to get a pressure reading 
off the fuel line but I have not done this so do not know the specification. 
I have heard that a fuel pump from a Ford Mustang, I believe the 5.0 liter 
one, will work and is much less expensive.

If someone else cannot answer this I think I can find the person who told me 
about the Mustang part.  They are a lot less expensive than the Ducati one.

After taking my 96 900 SP out of a three month storage, I noticed the fuel 
pump seems to run continuosly.  Bike has the FCR flatside carb mod.  Is this 
normal?  If not how do I fix?  Ciao!   Don Green*****
