I have tried searching for a how to video or even a post on how to replace the fuel pump, no luck. Anybody out there that can help. I purchased the bike last Sunday and always had fuel starvation. Pulled the carb today carb was clean. Bike was starting a running but not on full throttle. Today it would only start and then die after a couple seconds. Carb bowl was dry. Now it only turns over no start. Drained tank yesterday filled with fresh fuel and bike ran good until full throttle. Bad fuel pump? I have a BV200 Factory Shop Manual but cannot find anything about the fuel pump. Any help will be appreciated Thanks

It's the same pump found on the GT200. Are all of your vacuum and fuel hoses original? If so, it's time to replace them. Fuel pump, fuel tap, fuel filter, all fuel and vacuum hoses are easy once you have the body panels removed. You might consider removing the EVAP and blocking off the SAS while you do this It's 1/4 hose for gas, and 1/3" for vacuum.

You're welcome. It's hanging off the bottom of the gas tank and looks like this:
Take a close look at your fuel and vacuum lines. They usually end up in pretty bad shape after 10 years or so.
