Right...

been talking to a few ktm owners on adv...

they been replacing there factory pumps with a low PSI facet 12v pumps with success.
with a price tag for a factory pump of $300 and 3-4 weeks to deliver from Austria...
im going to have a go at this option.
iv found a pump in NZ that matches the specs of the one the adv guys are using.
paid for it tonight $68 and should see it Tuesday..
going to take out old pump at weekend.

Used a LADA fuel pump on the KTM 690...So...Must be okay, worked well and all good.
Just goes to show that KTM isn't the bees knees aye... We can make do with cheaper and sometimes better parts....even LADA parts...
At the end of the day, the bike has to run and get us off the couch....and outta the house!
Good luck Joe, will be watchin'

Here,s the basic specs for the pump om my africa ,,,Facet Cube Style 12 Volt Fuel Pump, 3 to 4.5 max psi
Maximum fuel delivery 30 gallons per hour at free-flow. Maximum pressure 3 to 4.5 psi. Typical flow 15 gph at 2 psi. 1/8 NPT female ports. Ground wire allows easy installation in positive-ground applications (most Facet pumps ground through the pump body).

For low fuel requirements on engines up to about 150 horsepower, a single Solid State pump such as this one is usually sufficient. Pumps can be combined in series or parallel to achieve higher pressures or flows. We also offer several other models with different flow rates and pressures for engines up to about 150 horsepower. Facet fuel pumps have low power requirements (about 1 amp at 12 volts) and operate without troublesome seals or diaphragms
The pump number is a facet 40105 and that number is the part number found by the mounting holes,not the 574a number on the body ....

your pump is on the piece of paper thats right in front of me...

cheers for info...

Why not just replace the points and know its going to work correctly? I really do not see why everyone rushes out and replaces the pump when the points are easier to do and even tho they wear its not like you need to replaced them every year. just my 2 cents.
