Re: Fuel Pump
Probably the easiest fix is to get a new one. You can use a generic low pressure pump - search on eBay for cbr600 fuel pump. They're under $20.

Re: Fuel Pump
Yes it can be tinkered with. Its a simple linear armature with make and break contacts. You can clean and bend them to make it work.
There are small pumps off cars that will work -I paid 15 dollars for mine. I walked in to a car spare parts shop and put it on the table. I ignored an comments like what is this off,( or in Thai --rot alai) she walked away with it and came back with a small pump off a Suzuki Caribbean ---an old 4 wheel drive car that is known to turn over a lot. Looks like a tiny little Range Rover.

I wouldn't be too keen on buying a second hand one.

Re: Fuel Pump
They are bit tricky but its not rocket science. I took the armature return spring out of mine and fitted another type on the top of the armature that I can adjust. This means the fuel pump pressure can be adjusted as it directly relative to the armature return spring.
