The top of the fuel pump looks very similar to my Sherco SEF. I wonder if instead of bending the retaining clip (Which my Sherco doesn't have) you could have twisted the whole fuel line counterclockwise about 90 degrees and pulled it off that way. Careful using tools on the gray retainer - they are notorious for failing on Shercos after removing several times. You should be able to push the gray retainer down with your fingers and pull the fuel line straight up. Here's a video removing the line on a Sherco ruclips.net/video/urvdhbkAp-I/видео.html
Thanks for the information. I tried all kind of different attacks on it, and may have even tried pushing down on the tabs like in that video,, but maybe I wasn't holding my tongue right.
I like the content. Love the shirt. lol "YoU'rE dOiNg iT wRoNg!" I do hate when you get to something that looks so simple, and you just can't get past it. Like some little hidden tab somewhere you got to hit, or line something up just right.... ugh.
don't worry.. plenty more content to come from this. I have my valve measurements now.. have to tear the valvetrain apart to get to the shims and see what I have in there though. That's the part that's going to suck
@@DonkeyDongDoug I am in the middle of taking off the tank and was going to cut that metal clip, pull it out and replace with a new one. Pulling it out didn’t seem like what I should do. Thank you for posting all of these, it is frustrating the lack of videos out there.

You need the "special tool" to make removing that fuel quick connector. These are cheap and make the removal job effortless.
@@jamesklauzner6938 they don't list a "special tool" in the service manual for that. If you can find a part number for it then I am all ears

@@collin228 no worries. Good luck!
You need to replace that paper air filter ASAP with anyone of the aftermarket air filters
It's on my list.. will probably try DNA this next time.
