Harley Davidson Road King Bad Fuel Pump. $17 Fix 

Finally somebody that not only Knows what their doing, but accurately explains (and shows) how to do this... Thank You sir!

Rocco, you are literally a hero in my book! You show how to do this work in the most basic terms possibly, and the way you explain just makes sense. Thank you!

I was gifted an '01 Road King, great Uncle. Anyways, don't know anything about harleys. You are a magician sir! Thank you for your helpful guidance Rocco!

I've reused those screws in a pinch but technically according to the Harley service manual those screws are supposed to be a one time use only & so is the gasket, in case you didn't know....I did mine on my 03 RK about 6 years ago.

I have an ‘03 FLHRCI, so all of your Road King videos are gold for me. Thanks, Rocco.

Rocco, your explanations of these jobs are so perfect, “class is in session “ and we’re all watching & paying attention,, lol!! from a master at work. Keep doing videos,,,

Great video Rocco! I have the same problem. Couldn’t read codes on my ‘03 so to the dealer it went. Charged me 2 hours to tell me it’s the regulator, then wanted me to buy the $400 pump kit. Put the bike on the trailer and brought it home. I might get the kit anyway ‘cuz the bike’s 22 years old, but at least I know how to do this repair, and not get charged another $6-700!! Thanks so much…

You did an awesome job explaining and demonstrating this process

Great video. My favorite channel to watch when I need to fix something on my bikes.

Thanks for explaining so thoroughly , Rocco .

Thanks for the fix tips Rocco! Another great fix for a great savings.

Excellent video! I forwarded this to my bro to show him in advance what we'll do when he gets the parts. The way you did the video is MUCH better than me trying to explain it by email! When I disturb those pumps I replace the hoses as they tend to crack from a mix of old age and handling. The parts are cheap. A recent bike may still have supple hoses but they do dry out over time in the hot southeast. Unless money is super tight and that bike is my only transportation I prefer to replace pump, hoses, filter etc same as I do on any car or truck since the labor however little is not worth it to me to do more than as rarely as possible.

Good stuff Rocco I've heard stories of those hoses going bad as well

Saving this video for ‘just in case’ moments. Excellent! (As usual)

As always Rocco, Awesome video. Thank you!

Thanks mate. I just picked up a 2002 Fatboy and it has a fuel starvation feeling. I will take the pump out and see how she looks. I just wanted to say thanks for the video. Good tips and a great money saving too.

Thanks for the video man just had the same problem the other day on my 2005 Road King didn't know what it was but thanks to your video the same thing happened to mine thanks again

Im 29 just bought my first 03 Honda shadow, When i got it the bike wouldn't run correctly. Came to find out it was a bad fuel pump. I replaced it and wow the bike runs amazing. So I got a new paint job on it and spark plugs, Ignition coil, spark plug, oil change, coolant change. Shes ready for the summer here in NC! I got my endorsement then my license and rode it for the first time friday and wow its a amazing feeling!

Brilliant informative video Rocco

Thank you, pretty sure this is what happened to my 2006 Deuce yesterday. Came on suddenly and had to have it towed home.

Thanks for the video. I have a 2003 heritage springer fi .put a new battery in it and it fired right up. Rode about a quarter of a mile and it started missing and tried to cut off. Got it home and smelled gas,it was leaking from the check valve. Fuel pump was working but had to get in the tank to change the check valve and noticed the pickup screen was detearated . Ended up taking everything out, after it was out all the fuel lines crumbled just touching them.went to the Harley shop to get new parts. Harley didn't have much in stock that I needed so I ask for after market parts which they proceeded to help me with only to find out they where sold out could put it on back order but wasn't sure if or when I would get it. Was gonna use my old pump till I started to pull the gas line off it and it crumbledoff to the housing. If your bike is this old it wouldn't hurtto get the complete unite if you can find one. The one that was sold out wasn't but $399.99 with everything but the check valve. I've spent over $600.00 and still haven't got all I need to get it going. Thanks for all the help your sharing. Just wanted to add if you can find ityou better get it before you have to make your own parts. They are getting really hard to get! Have a blessed day !

You are the man Rocco thanks for the videos

Thanks Rocco! I have the exact same bike (2002 Road King CVO purple) with the same issue!

Thank you very much very clean work you must love taking care of your Harley ✌

Very good video thank you for doing this service 👍

Great video Rocco.

Nice work Roco your right take your time to pop that spring and she will come!! Have you every replace any of the hose's inside they say over time they can become brittle and leak? Not many guys left making content on nolder bike so your efforts and knowlledge are greatly appreciated brother all your videos are great thank you!!!!!

Thanks for all excellent video. All your uploads are excellent resources of information. Props man. Regarding 09:05 HD would prob charge parts plus $100+ an hour... Crazy prices for mostly simple stuff... Dunno how they justify the prices sometimes.

I really enjoy watching your videos, 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Thanks for the video and information!

Thank you! Great video.

Nice video ! You make it look doable !

Don't go crazy 😜 Belive in Rocco. He got after me for going crazy. Thanks man for your help!!

Good video! Slow with patience! Harley sells the whole pump assembly now$$$$not individual ouch$! thanks!

Thanks Rocco, a great video mate, I have to do my fatboy! Greetings from the U.K. 👍

Rocco...You're the best.

Greetings Rocco, i cant thank you enough for your videos….they are all step by step, with nice tips and things to be aware of, yet they are consise as you dont talk about things that have nothing to do eith the fix, like most other videos. My question, 2005 RK custom ( fuel injected) i have a constant whine coming from tank, almost like fuel pumo never shuts off after start … But my ride is solid? I don’t think it would be the regulator housing… Any suggestions? Thank you.

Very informative video my friend , can I ask what the symptoms were that led you to the regulator ?

Love the fix. Thanks for sharing. I've got the 06' RKClassic FLHRC-I and a bad fuel sending unit. (float assembly I think) I've got another ordered but backorder won't be available until May. Is this something you have experience w/ ?? Do you think I could change it out myself ?? I've never actually removed the pump or even opened the fuel tank but i'm confident in my mechanical skills and usually find a way to do my repairs & replacements myself. Like you :) !! Would you be able to recommend a video link for the repair ?? Any advise would be appreciated. Love the Daytona video's !! I can't wait for Galveston Bike Week in Nov. Thanks for your generous consideration, Sincerely ..............................

Thanks!

Great info here Rocco. Would this repair be similar on a StreetGlide fuel tank?

Good solid video, 👌

Do you know if this was a common issue on the early 01 roadkings with the magneti marelli fuel system? Will the same part and part number work? Im experiencing some sputtering/loss of fuel during takeoff as well as when you are cruising at a constant speed. Hasnt failed me yet but not running as strong as it should. Thanks in advance.

Great video sir. Do you think it would be worthwhile to change the strainer while your in the tank already? Thanks.

Thank you Sir. May I ask , what year is your Hog ? I have a 2000 Road King Police. It has the Magnetto Marrelli EFI on it though. I’m kinda afraid to pull the door off , may be different. Have a new Filter , Pump , Gas lines / fittings

Hey Rocco I've got a quick question I've got a 1990 softtail custom can you tell me where the transmission plug is to change the fluid thanks a lot man Doug

Hey Rocco! Nice work explaining this. I have recently purchased a used 2008 Deluxe with 6,500 miles. I’ve been riding it and it now has approximately 7,200 miles on her. The other night I pulled into the garage and there is a slight humming noise from the gas tank. I was totally lost on what it might be so I started researching it. There isn’t a loss of power, yet, or any other issues. I think I might have caught it prior to things going bad. Question I have is; before I start removing the parts to uncover the fuel system what do you think it might be? I’ve read it might be a dirty fuel filter. Maybe it’s the pump itself. Or maybe it’s what you replaced. Any thoughts?? I’d like to purchase some parts ahead but maybe I should wait until we see what the actual issue is. I just know it wasn’t making that sound before. Thanks !!

Rocco love your vids, your compensator vid helped me out, had a funny noise coming back from Sturgis last August, saw your vid and it was exactly what my 02 rk was doing.. what symptoms did you have with the fuel reg housing.. recently mine started idling rough and stalling after warming up.. just won’t idle high enough without me turning the throttle.. and will stall any help would be great thanks

I think you have the right idea, about the problem of the bike running strangely, however you don't seem to realize that working on top of the tank....all you need is a spark...one little spark..and you may get a ride to the hospital..Your removal doesn't show how you removed the fuel from the tank, and the pump unit should make it to the workbench ??? You're to brave for me.. Ps. I have removed fuel pumps four times now.

Never use screw clamp , you will be doing it right all over again !!!😊

Hey Rocco, can you please tell me if ornaments on the gas tank dashed if those are glued on. The bolt below the switch has a cover I’m to remove.

I was inherited a 2004 FLSTI from my dad which will not start. He told me, he took it for a short ride and then returned home. After sitting for about 2 hours, he returned to the bike to start it, and it cranked but it did not start. Would your issue cause the same issue he had?

Good video, but why did you put a plastic one back on it? Bad thing about the aluminum ones is they are about 70 bucks.

Sir, what were the symptoms which led you to believe you had a defective regulator housing?

Hi Rocco, Thanks! Again! I've had the parts on order for a while, got em all. Short story , needed to replace the quick release and fuel line to injector body because of bodge job to get going 1500 miles from home (it was a perished o ring in the quick release). So, I figured while I'm in there I'll just replace everything . ( very low mileage 15 year old bike}. My thinking was the hoses might be getting old and brittle, but I think they look nicer than the replacement hoses. More flexible. I thought they were brown from age, but maybe thats the material they are made from? Anyway, thanks again from Australia. I always check for a video from you before I work on the bike, your primary tutorial was a great help also! Is your accent Long Island? Kind Regards, Brad

Did the drag specialisties include orings I didn’t see any I rings on install. Did you use new Orings

Hey Rocco earlier this week I talked to you about charging system on my 2007 electra glide ultra classic. I have replaced everything and for some reason unless I jump it ,it will not start.any ideas? All this started after I had so.e trans work done

My 14 softail is not firing up after sitting for several months. The first prime sounded like air whooshing. Will not start. Subsequent primes I hear a trickling sound. Is the trickle sound of gasoline inside the tank abnormal? Meaning that I have a broken hose or regulator housing? If not maybe the gas got old?

I have an 06 Road king and at low rpm's it has a small cough...but doesn't stall...could this be the problem?

Hi question what is the symptoms of the bike when that happened ?

I can see fuel moving around in my tank and spraying when level is low enough when I cycle the ignition. Bike runs fine. Fuel pump primes and shuts off. Is that normal or is my housing failing?

would this cause the bike to run like crap when idling? my 06 softail deluxe is making a skip noise and i think its this.

what were the symtoms when it failed, what did the bike do? Two Wheel Rocco

Bet this kept alot of guys out of the "stealership".....thanks Mr Rocco.

I have a 01 Road King that does not have a regulator housing on it done took it apart

Nice video What model your bike?

Nice job thank you….KJPO'Reilly

👍👍

Hey Rocco, im trying to diagnose my issues on a 2001 Roadking with fuel injection. The bike starts fine, and then idles fine for a few minutes, then the idle begins to slow and its like the bike is coughing. Could this be pump issues or idle/sensor issues?

Hey man, for some reason my bike won't start. and it appears I have no fuel flowing out of my tank. Do you have any idea why?

Should of checked the fuel filter just for shirts and giggles.

What was the bike doing to make you know it was the fuel pump/regulator housing)

I don't hear the fuel pump when I turn on the engine switch

WHAT WAS THE SYMPTOMS WHEN OPERATING MC ? NO PRIME ? PUMP NOT LOUD/NOT PRIMING/ RUNS OUT OF FUEL TO INJECTORS?? HMMM

Sir I have 2000 road king, I have 2 lines under the tank one if fuel supply line and one is return. My question is the return is it connected to anything or is it just there for fuel to go back into tank? My manuals shows the line but not or if they connect to anything

Turn key on no humming

First thing I’m doing is disconnecting the battery

Didn't change the fuel pump.

How can i talk to you
