so i got my z back together and after running up to fourth gear at full throttle it beginns to die. does anybody have a picture of the stock setup? i think my trike has a blaster setup on it and its just not enough. i have another pump assy that came off a parts trike that came with it , but i dont know if its right either as it has off- on- reserve settings on the petcock. :wondering thanks guys

best way to check the pump is to pull the fuel line off the carb and kick it over if gas comes out chances are that its good

Dammit!

When I had that problem on my Z it was the carb, not the pump. Not sure if it was just the float level or the seat though. I just switched out carbs instead of fixing the original.

well the pump thats on it obviously isnt stock, and the pump on the parts trike might be stock but i dont know what a stock one looks like . the pump that is currently equipped only has a diaphragm the size of a quarter.
