Fuel System

• Note: Pay careful attention to which SabMag is being discussed. The fueling systems vary quite a bit from Sabre to Magna to Interceptor, and even between different engine sizes.

• Fuel Pump

  • Fuel Pump Relay

  • Replacement Contacts

• Fuel Tank Rust

• Fuel Petcock

• Hoses
  • Use bulk hose of the correct size. Honda dealers carry metric hose; it is a little expensive, but $10-$15 worth is enough to completely replace the fuel and breather hoses. We have one report that the large hose between the main and inside to keep it from kinking. Our advice is that if you're going to try this make sure the hose is neoprene. Some compounds don't stand up to gasoline. (It's not recommended to use hose not specifically labeled for fuel use. Mechanic Carleton Anderson in Framingham, MA further recommended NOT to use automotive tubing -- not sure why but apparently it breaks down faster than M/C-specific tubing. Any M/C shop should have proper bulk tubing at ~$4/foot.)
