Anyone see a problem with this and also should I use a little locatite or not in with these being internal? They go through the center of each spring and into the cast housing.

Honda OEM fasteners are best. Their grade, proof load and tensile strength will be far more superior than that after market shiny silver one in the pic. Having said that...it will work just fine in a pinch...IMO.

It's not like it's a cylinder head bolt.

What's the feeling on loctite on these?

I have no manual in front of me but I don't believe it's req'd in that location. 104 inch lbs should do the trick...however if you want to dab them with some low strength blue loctite i suppose it won't hurt.

Reidy, I believe you'll find better tensile strength bolts at an auto supplier like NAPA. They probably won't be washer head type, like the Honda ones. In Phoenix, there must be a supplier of fasteners to the trades, and they may well have the exact ones you need. Take a sample with you. Good luck.

Got the clutch done and buttoned up. Go to start the bike and the fuel pump is not working at all. Going to check fuse first and then if not that simple I will do the fuel pump upgrade as well. Anyone got a quick answer as to what fuse the pump is tied into?

It's a 10A fuse..start/fuel/ign
How do the contacts look on the pump? Take the screw out and pry the cap off for inspection. To confirm your pump is bad try checking for voltage and also note the fuel cut-off relay in this circuit. Or.... just bypass the pump entirely with the supply hose and fill your tank to the brim. Might be Facet time.

Well pulled the fuel pump and really cant beleive it was working as long as it did. It is rusted and the points are shot. Can you shoot me a link or info on the pump you spoke of the facet. I know the stock ones are not the best and I now have two broken ones. Cheers

I did bypass the pump and the bike runs great.... yeah.

Get the pump here at Spruce Aircraft model # 40105....best price on the planet.

I've also heard NAPA may carry it (part # 610-1051).

Installation instructions here...yeah thats me again. I can't believe it has almost 50k views. Hard to beat a solid state pump that they use on ultralight aircraft.
