Red connector broken at the fuel pump…

[Chris J. Haasbroek]

I think we know why it was for sale unfortunately.

Some idiot with a screwdriver forced it apart breaking it and then hid it.

No photo needed. It’s toast. Sorry to give you the news.

I found the perfect solution after many hours of searching the web and all Moto Guzzi models fuel supply parts listings.

Breva 1100 part GU01106692 purchased from MSP Netherlands - cost only EUR8.85 compared to new Stelvio fuel pump at EUR765!

I gently and very carefully removed the grey locking mechanism from the main body of the black tube/pipe connector and it was a perfect fit on the Stelvio. The yellow o-ring inside the tube/pipe below the locking mechanism also a perfect fit.

Happy Days in Johannesburg!

Excellent !
Good job tracking down the parts !

I’m still nervous about disconnecting that fitting, to replace the fuel filter.
Maybe I should take a trip to the junk yard and get some practice !

Ok - after watching Scott’s two videos, I understand how to disconnect the fuel line, I just have to practice doing it blind.
The V7 isn’t quite so accessible.

The replacement line comes with the elbow already in place together with the connections to the fuel injectors. Very simple to replace as a unit

Forgive my never-ending questions on the subject, but is the elbow now a separately replaceable unit from the fuel pump? At one time, if you broke that elbow or wanted to replace it, you had to buy a new fuel pump with it .... ?

Hi Lannis, yes it sure is. Part # MG410 -- I try to keep one in stock. Ping me direct email; Info @GuzziTech.com if you need one.

Morning,

Sure this has been mentioned. I’ve looked but didn’t find.

I have a 2008 V7 Classic in which the red elbow has broken at the fuel pump. Managed to last 14 years, so can‘t really complain.

I‘ve ordered a replacement elbow to replace my broken one.

What I need to know, whilst I wait, is how do you remove the elbow from out of the bottom of the fuel pump?

I’ve not tried as yet. I assume it will pull out but can anyone tell me the procedure for removing and putting the new one in.

And what, if anything, you need to be careful of?

Does the fuel pump need taking off? I doubt it but does it?

Many thanks in advance for any replies.

David.

Not mine but shows what has broken on mine.

I looked using something similar. I’ll be more specific, thank you.

Think I found what I needed, thanks to Scottmastrocinque (󠁧󠁢󠁷 Phew) but welcome any additional advice.

Thank you.

I just merged your posts to this thread. Additionally, the elbow is available in metal thanks to the Aprilia world. Info below... Google search it.

Many thanks for all replies. Now sorted had excellent service from MG Cycle. Came to the UK within a few days! Excellent. Then found I could have got it here from a Ford dealer cheaper but hey ho it’s sorted. Thank you MG Cycles.
