Can you hear the pump?
How old is fuel filter? Have you checked the relay terminals under seat? Have you ever changed injector seals? If you can always hear pump running, then I would put a new fuel filter on. I would then change injector seals as these are easy, and cheap (these are normaly diagnosed by it being very noisy on the priming proceedure). Then look towards a pump problem. Andy |

Yep pump runs but making a lot of noise
Filter is less than a year old and is genuine lr Wiggled all relays no change Put it into purge mode and pump made a noise I've not had before But then battery was to weak to start it no not sure if its fixed I took out the air bleed thing out of the filter pipe and the pipe fitting is rather corroded So hoping air is getting in and it's not the pump But the nosie during the purge cycle was awful It was the way it went from Being fine to dead instantly that seems Odd |

When my injector seals and washers went the engine just kept stopping while driving, and when I did the purge it made a lot of noise and gurgling. Injector seals should definately be your first job as it's quite cheap and rules out a common fault

My pump has been noisy for a while, and my fuel level got a bit low. Then the pump went whilst driving, just slowly stopped!

A slight bike meets tree issue has stopped me fiddling any further with it so The nice people at the indie collected it on there truck So just waiting to hear back And yes the level in the tank was less than 1/4 |

Seems it's not the pump as that still works , I was right about thinking air was getting in the injector seals were rather poor
But still won't start Garage said it's got an ecu fault when they plugged it in They are too busy to look at it again till middle of the week It was all going so well maybe it's time to save up a bit and update |
