Hey everyone, today’s video covers the installation of a fuel pump on a 2003 Honda Shadow Spirit 750 DC. This motorcycle had been sitting for three years, and it was finally time to fix it up and get it running.
When the motorcycle started acting up, I initially hesitated to replace the fuel pump due to the cost. However, after much research and stumbling upon a cheaper option for a new fuel pump, I was ready to tackle the task. I managed to find a new fuel pump for $35-40, which was quite a steal. Once I had the pump, I was all set to begin the installation process.
The first step was removing the side covers and other components to access the fuel pump tucked inside. As I navigated through the process, I encountered some challenges and learned some valuable insights along the way. It turned out that the motorcycle’s fuel system was bone dry, which made the priming process a bit time-consuming. After some effort, the fuel started flowing, and I could hear the satisfying sound of the motorcycle coming alive.
With the new fuel pump successfully installed and the motorcycle up and running, I shared my plans for adding saddlebags and possibly upgrading the exhaust. The video concluded with a demonstration of the motorcycle’s revving capabilities and an invitation for viewers to engage by leaving comments and subscribing to the channel.
While this video may not feature a jeep, it showcases the enjoyable and rewarding process of working on a motorcycle. Whether it’s a jeep or a motorcycle, the thrill of reviving a machine back to its former glory is undeniably satisfying.
