All, Perhaps you might remember my fuel pump grief ( plus a LOT of grief from fellow Buellers) with my 2009 ULY back around Labor day. I decided to replace the entire fuel pump with a new one from Saint Paul HD. It was expensive but seemed cheaper in the long run rather then messing around with O rings, adaptations and ebay who knows what.
conclusion was to find an in-tank fuel filter that would catch all the junk as the fuel goes into the tank. I think I found the filter but they are all for screw top tanks rather then the Buell style with dogs. Solution is to remove the filler/cap and mount the top of the fuel filter under the cap. I will let you know how that goes.
Aside from all that, it is wet, rainy and miserable so the next trip is if I go the first bit with the bike in back of the truck down to NorCal-say and bomb around for a few days.

The reason my fuel pump failed is that the internal filters were blocked solid and overworked the pump.
Extra filtering is good but I think most of the problems come from the time some of these bikes are not used and the fuel just sits in the tank. I find it hard to believe that in this day and age that there are that much impurities coming out of the gas nozzle.
If you are planning to change fuel pump pressure regulator it will likely go with new o-rings. If you are planning to reuse the fuel pump pressure regulator you will need two different sizes o-rings.
1 pressure regulator small o-ring - dash number 109, Viton, 5/16" ID x 1/2" OD x 3/32" CS, Durometer 75A - 0.1$ per each https://www.mcmaster.com/9464K44
1 pressure regulator big o-ring - dash number 118, Viton, 7/8" ID x 1 1/16" OD x 3/32" CS, Durometer 75A - 0.2$ per each https://www.mcmaster.com/9464K82
Looks like someone found the McMaster catalog for the first time! How cute.
Loco,
For sure sitting around time is not good for bikes, or bikers for that matter. Lunatics idea of storing with Avgas, or at least unleaded, is a good idea. The black crud in my internal fuel filters had to come from somewhere. I do not know the PO's regimen as far as storing over the winter went. Probably best to attack the problem on all fronts.
I get pretty remote on some trips and those little funky mountain towns could have iffy gas. Anyway, I am fitting a tank fill filter-- see how it looks in a few months.
