with this fuel pump I solved most of the problems of my ducati paso now consumes less electricity the right pressure of the gas comes and do not flood the ducts and the spark plug anymore ... even if it does not have the original housings but must be mounted with a big clamp is really worth mounting it .... :-D

Huco 133010 (found it on ebay)

thanks for the referral. Is this pump close in size to the stock item?

this pump is larger than the original one at least three times ... you have to mount it vertically by attaching it to the petrol pipes and anchoring it with a beautiful and large clamp to the upper supporting metal frame for the fairing and resting on the descending beam of the frame

I noticed that my bike (1988 750 paso) has 8.5 volts going to the pump and not 12 volts. Will that work ok with this pump your suggesting? I need a new pump myself asap.

I would say your Paso is suffering a familiar dilemma ......voltage drop, usually due to poor connections. The pump ( and everything else ) should get battery voltage , best get it sorted before it leaves you stranded. There are heaps of posts re this issue and some good threads on the cure available in the F A Q's. Best learn how to do a volt drop test with a multi meter ......not technically hard and will make the job much easier . As for the pump , a vacuum operated pump off a monster is your best bet , also covered in the F A Q's .Good luck

Ok, thank you. I'll check it out at once.

I have installed a vaacum fuel pump from a Monster 750....
To the end the pump work, it's the cheeper solution but.... the only problem it's when you stop the Paso for a long time....
When you try to restart it, need a lot of attemps before start the motor.....
For the moment i will keep this solution, also because i use my Paso sometimes just for short drive.... but in a future i would like replace the electric pump as a original.... (price and availability allow...!)

mark999 if the bike is parked for such a long time that the fuel in the carbs' float chamber is evaporated you will experience the same with an electric fuel pump. Install your current pump in a lower position (lower than the tank's petcock).
