Re: New handlebars, and dead fuel pump

I have seen lots of those strainers fail, taking out the pump. IO don't 
quite understand the logic of using a strainer that CAUSES pump 
failure, but I am not a German Wunder-kid engineer.

Sounds like you found the problem. I have never successfully cleaned 
out a jammed pump, but I don't try very hard, because most that I see 
are pretty whupped anyways.
