    Hey, Cooter,

    Yep, made it there and back again--almost 100miles. Just purred along. The problem was dirty fuel filters, but I think the actual pump got damaged from overwork, also. So back on the road and where to go...?

    Right now it is seriously chilly, loving the heated grips and my Road Crafter suit.

    Would like to find a fuel filter that I can put in the fill zone to try and keep crud out of the system. Any ideas?

    Glad your trip went well and you finally got that marionberry pie. My local had some homemade marionberry pie just the other day

    Take all care,

    Opto

    Loco, Lunatic, Outlaw and Cooter,

    Well, I am enjoying how the conversation morphed from clogged fuel filters to yummy pies. I am inviting you all to a pie fest, with Grilled NY steaks etc. next Spring--

    Location to be determined but Crater Lake sounds good.

    I have one spare bike to loan out.

    there is NO such thing. would be confusing to readers not familiar with these pumps.
    upwind from the pump there is a "sock" style filter....downwind from the pump there is an automotive style inline filter. there is NO filter attached to or related to the pressure regulator. period.
    Earlier this season I replaced the fuel pump assembly in one of my Buell's. When I turned the key on the fuel pump didn't sound right and would pump up slowly. John, (L.F.) thought it was a sign the fuel pump was failing and that it should be replaced. I followed his advice and did so.

    The stock fuel pump inlet filter/screen/sock is fairly small. When I pulled the fuel pump assembly the sock was totally plugged. My problem could have been just the plugged up sock but as I has everything apart and doing the work myself decided to replace everything, (filters, pump, regulator and level sensor). Bought the sensor and seals from John and went with his suggestion on the pump. Everything's running great.

    NY steaks, pie and Buells. Sounds good.
    Add a good cigar and some Jack and it's a great time.

    I'm kinda short on ammo, maybe 45k rounds sitting here and another 6-8k to be reloaded. Can't make it since I'll be busy reloading.
