Fuel sender unit and the electric fuel pump installation: Renewal of the fuel tank and the fuel system were done!

The electric fuel pump and the fuel sender unit were installed to the renewed fuel tank.
The original fuel sender unit was heavily rusted, therefore I prepared new one.


Regarding the new piping for the electric fuel pump, the inner diameter of the fuel hose on the pump side was 6mm and 8mm on the body side.  So, I needed to prepare the hose conversion adapter from 6 to 8mm.  I could find the aluminum one at the parts shop for the motorcycle.


I assembled these parts and installed to the fuel tank.


Finally the fuel tank and the fuel system were renewed!!! ☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎☺︎

The assembly / installation was always fun.

By the way, the paint inside of the trunk room was dirty … I had to make it more beautiful in someday.

Finally I could extract the rusty piston! I observed the extracted piston.  It looked there was no risk of the leakage of the fluid because the hole I made in the piston was not penetrated.  Thinking the function that this part only holding the rod connected with the clutch pedal , it could be reused if the hole would be filled by the hard material. However , before repairing the holed

Clutch master cylinder overhaul #4

The overhaul of the clutch master cylinder , which I succeeded in the removal and repair of the piston with solder ( probably ), has been still continuing.  The master cylinder was disassembled and all parts were cleaned.  The condition of each part was not bad. In the last week the cylinder and rod were painted. Assembly started.  I checked the condition of the rubber parts originally used comparing with ones of the repair kit.  And I decided to use the original ones because the rubber was not deteriorated yet and the quality looked better than the repair kit ’ s one. Always the assembly is fast although I always struggled with the disassembly. Before After The overhauled master cylinder could be operated smoothly.  And I believe the appearance also became cleaner. ( My original blog was written on 26th Jul. 2009 )
