So I changed out the fuel pump on my R50 and it keeps showing that it is empty however it has fuel in it. I also disconnected the battery for a couple of days and still nothing. I removed the fuel pump last night to see if anything was loose but everything was in tact.. When i moved the lever it did not change on the dash... It was working before I changed the fuel pump.... Any ideas??

 

Hello, did you get the right pump , also there are two levels . Left and right side, the other side might be bad.

Yeah the pump was correct but I missed that there are two levers...

 

Yea, there are two. the other ones failed , its in the link above.

 

I wonder if something came lose when I was changing the fuel filter...?? I just dont see how it goes bad from sitting... Thanks i will check tomorrow night

 

Yea, you might have bumped one of the cables, but sometimes when you touch other parts.

Take it out , move it up and down on the contact, put it back in and hook everything up.
