40105.
That is the low pressure version.

I bought aftermarket Chineese shit for my AT on the trip, comparable to 40107 (if my brain cells remembered that one correctly) and this gave bigger issues with my floater needles.

Those facet pumps are pretty good according to a lot of people, I just stuck to the original with rebuild-kits for the contact points.... and a small non-return-valve which I used when I had two pumps that flushed back and forth...

I've got two facets (safety in redundancy), but one is connected up with a manual switch for priming the carbs. Won't go back to original again. Had some fuel pump issues on other bikes as well (so not just Honda fuel-pump issues), but have never had a facet fail on me, but priming the carbs with any low pressure pump can take a lot of cranking.

agreed, a separate power supply is nice for priming. I also made a tap AFTER the pump (T-piece with tap I should say) for filling up the MSR fuel bottle and washing hands after roadside fixes. :-D

Don't leave that power on, as the pump will keep on running if you crash - there is a relais to prevent that. (pump only runs when crank rotates)

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love.
