Well decided to experiment with a Briggs & Stratton fuel pump rated up to 8 horsepower that I got off the eBay for $7 versus paying $46 for a used factory unit off ebay.
Pump is still doing great. Carb needed rebuilt in this video and why the idle was the way it was, soon after taking it offroading I rebuilt the carb and it ran and idled better.
Hey Bryan! Thanks for the Suzuki vids! I have a ALT125 3 Wheeler. I think it's an '83. I bought an aftermarket direct replace fuel pump off Amazon that will be here tomorrow. I've been googling and cannot find any instructions for removal of the existing fuel pump. Do you have any tips for replacement? Just clamp off the feed? remove hoses and bolts and replace? Thanks!
I have the same bike got all the lines hooked up but still not getting gas has a full tank carb is clean it will run when I spray gas in it but then it dies do you know my problems
moto ghost Either fuel isn't getting out of the tank, to the carb or out of the carb. There is a bleed screw on the bottom of the float bowl, open it and if no gas comes out, either the needle is stuck shut or fuel land pumping. Also the carb has a prime pull lever on it, pull ou5 and let it suck itself back in, you should feel fluid resistance. That primes the carb.
Did u use that hole that was plugged up for the vacuum cuz I just bought this exact same four wheeler and I’m pretty sure he had the carb hooked up wrong so I don’t know where each line goes
I'm still here to help! Briggs & Stratton # 808656 is the pump number to use and the one you are talking about is the exact same as what im using and will work.
@@mistermacgray thank you so much. Got a lt185 local. Runs on spray but replacing carb. Pump. Brakes and giving a fresh coat of paint. Your videos are great help. I don’t know to much of gas engine but I have fixed a few. I tend to build small electric vehicles. Electric longboard/mountainboard, electric pit bikes and hopefully an electric quad later down the road.
@@spireEngineering6523 these have manual adjust valves, manual adjust can chain tensioner and manual adjust drive chain tensioner too. Lots to look over for these. Also if you haven't figured it out, one of the levers is a decompression valve for when you go to start the engine, only the lt185 had them. The pull starts are hard to find for these so do take care of the one you have. I'm still trying to find another 125/185 that somebody doesn't want an arm and a leg for.
I kinda don’t understand this fuel system. If my fuel pump is faulty, what are the symptoms? Will the bike not run at all? My only problem with my lt125 is cold starting. I adjusted the valves and im in the process of cleaning out the whole carb. If it doesn’t start easily than I may think its the pump?? But it starts fine if i pour a bit of gas in the intake
@@mistermacgray on a cold start after a day of it not running. I can pull the primer 50 x and feel no resistance, its an aftermarket primer but no rips or anything. Its just weird how it runs amazing when gas is poured into the intake. Wouldn’t that mean my pump is working? If I pull choke itll run for a second maybe 2 and then die. Last thing I need to check is the clip position to make sure its what the manual says
the line coming from the top of the fuel tank by the seat where does that go? i got one of these four wheelers but none of the lines were hooked up so i was curious were it went
Bryan Gray I’ll add my thought process to it. It’s a mechanical pump so it needs something to get it going. I squirted some starting fluid in the carb to get it to fire and it did. Fuel came pouring out of the overflow. I now know my problem is float in the carb. Thanks for the reply!
These are automatic clutches. Let off the gas and you use your left foot to select the gear you want. To go into reverse it must be in neutral and you pull up on the red handle.
tech nation I have not had a single issue with this pump, it is rated to fuel an 8hp briggs and Stratton engine. I got on eBay a looked up briggs and Stratton fuel pump and bought the cheapest priced one.
tech nation I assume you are buying the same atv as I have here? $150 is a really good price, I paid $200 for mine and it needed a bit to get to where it is now. I haven't permanently mounted the fuel pump yet, still deciding on a location but I will have a video on its final location. Also there is a small group on facebook call Suzuki lt 125 that you should request to join and ask any questions you have in there about these atv's. Much easier in there to explain stuff. Also check out the other videos I have on this too, putting out at least one a week on it as I work on it.
There is no fuse from my understanding on these. They have a voltage regulator somewhere for the lights. To this day my lights still dont work but I'm not worried. If there is any fuse, it's the light bulbs themselves.
There are two fuses...a ten and fifteen amp in the wiring harness.?..thinking near the back end....the 15 amp one mite be your light trouble...once I do find them...Ill let you know where....I looked at parts breakdown to find them on the harness....mines muddy ..hard to find...time to clean it to find them.
I did find them...you have to remove the rear plastic fenders....one is right above the tail light...10 amp for charging system....other is right side of air box....look for the two red wires...lead into a plastic square...there inside.....two 15 amp fuses....I have my lights hot wired.
@@mikedill7378 ill look but these don't have an actual charging system, nothing built into them for charging such as a battery. Like I said, im not going to worry about lights at this time.
What were you wanting to see thatbi didn't show? I showed and told the fuel pump model, showed hiw it doesn't build a ton of pressure but works great as an after market solution that many others are using now and for $8 its working great all of these years. This video was made early in my days of making youtube videos so things may have been left out vs professional videos you see on here.

Is there a way to put slightly taller tires on the front because every time I take a turn the front tires come off the ground

Mine didn't come with a factory pump, last owner removed it and gravity fed fuel till the tank couldn't push fuel anymore.
Dooooood 💚🌳💚🌳
Just got one of these but I don’t know what each port on the carb is for and what to connect on the fuel pump
I just made a carb replacement video a few weeks back and I think I tell in it what goes where during installation.
I have the same bike got all the lines hooked up but still not getting gas has a full tank carb is clean it will run when I spray gas in it but then it dies do you know my problems

Also where does the line coming from the top of the gas tank go he didn’t have it hooked up at all
I used the plugged hole for the pulse feed for the fuel pump I'm still using. The line at the top of the tank I want to say is a vent line.
Hey if you even still see comments I had a question. The only pumps similar to the one you had that I can find say 17-24HP are those ok.
I'm still here to help! Briggs & Stratton # 808656 is the pump number to use and the one you are talking about is the exact same as what im using and will work.

Pump isn't pumping or you need to prime the carb with the pull knob on the left side of the carb

Main and pilot jet are both stock. Fuel screw is adjusted properly I did that when the bike was warmed up to get the best throttle response
the line coming from the top of the fuel tank by the seat where does that go? i got one of these four wheelers but none of the lines were hooked up so i was curious were it went
sheepapig That is the tank vent line.
so i could just mount it anywhere then? Also thanks for the reply ive been looking every where for an answer
sheepapig yup, you just don't want water to be able to get in or get clogged.
thank you for the help
I got one of these as well, an got it from a kid but I think the lines are not correct where does the line from the gas coming out of the tank go?
I have a quadrunner 185 and there’s no fuel in the line going from the pump to the carb. Is that an issue with the carb or the pump?
If nothing from the pump to the carb, pump is at fault whether it's not pumping or not getting an impulse to pump.
Bryan Gray I’ll add my thought process to it. It’s a mechanical pump so it needs something to get it going. I squirted some starting fluid in the carb to get it to fire and it did. Fuel came pouring out of the overflow. I now know my problem is float in the carb. Thanks for the reply!
@@DR.P3RKY carb needs rebuilt. I found lots for this cheap on Ebay and imagine you can easily find one too.
Hey my dad bought a 1983 Suzuki LT125 QuadRunner and i dont know how to switch the gear can ya help?

hi I'm looking at this atv for sale for 150 he says it seems it is not getting fuel but that's it is it worth getting the pump is that a good deal?
tech nation I have not had a single issue with this pump, it is rated to fuel an 8hp briggs and Stratton engine. I got on eBay a looked up briggs and Stratton fuel pump and bought the cheapest priced one.
Bryan Gray so its a good deal for 150☺
Bryan Gray can you post a vid of installing it start to finish I don't know much bout that it would really help

Bryan Gray I only have 40 but hopefully my dad could pay the other bit I really want it does it hurt your back since it doesn't have shocks
I have same machine...but...think it blew a fuse...no power on....no green light...any idea where the fuse is located?
There is no fuse from my understanding on these. They have a voltage regulator somewhere for the lights. To this day my lights still dont work but I'm not worried. If there is any fuse, it's the light bulbs themselves.
There are two fuses...a ten and fifteen amp in the wiring harness.?..thinking near the back end....the 15 amp one mite be your light trouble...once I do find them...Ill let you know where....I looked at parts breakdown to find them on the harness....mines muddy ..hard to find...time to clean it to find them.
@@mikedill7378 I've never seen them but nor have I worried. I'm sure both bulbs are burnt out. Less drag on the engine too.
I did find them...you have to remove the rear plastic fenders....one is right above the tail light...10 amp for charging system....other is right side of air box....look for the two red wires...lead into a plastic square...there inside.....two 15 amp fuses....I have my lights hot wired.

You did not show us anything
