Replacing EFI fuel pump in a Kymco LIKE200i

(1/10) > >>

Stig / Major Tom:
The stock LIKE200i fuel pump has "no serviceable parts" according to my manual.
The 0 ring is supposed to be replaced each time you remove the pump from the tank.
No one sells the giant 0 ring - it is attached to the new $+200 pump assembly.

The pump must be eased out of the tank with some effort (like a cork in a bottle) and I returned it with a bit of silicone lube all
around.  Taking the measurements of the stock pump and after a phone contact with the tech. - I purchased a replacement 30mm HIGHFLOW pump. (ebay add said it would fit a Suzuki motorcycle) It's been working great in my 2012 LIKE200i for 9 years.

This one? Pumps have changed since my installation. Phone or email to confirm the size for fitting into KYMCO holder. 30mm X 70mm

Basically 'plug-and-play' Take a photo if need be to get all connections back in proper places.
Match the wires and hoses, place in the stock KYMCO pump holder and reinsert it back into the tank. Bolt it up and check for leaks.


All kinds of pumps are available - I paid a bit more for the HighFlow as I don't want to repeat this procedure!

Stock pump is in this metal and plastic holder.....which you will re-use!


New HighFlow pump installed in holder.

I have the exact same scooter as you and made the mistake of letting it sit for a year. Initially it fired right up and I took it for a short 3 mile test drive, at the last 1/4mile it almost didn't make it. The fuel pump was kicking on as it should and I pulled the line and flow looked good, I assumed there was some varnishing in the injector and replaced it  (fyi you can get them on ali express for less than $30) but after installing it the problem remained (would fire up but no power then would slowly deteriorate idle and die). I cut the supply hose to the injector and installed a pressure gauge (which is what I should have done to start with) and found that I only had about 22psi.  Searching for a new pump brought me to this thread (so thanks) I'm contacting the vendor to be sure the newer model will still work before ordering.
Here's the link to the injector if anyone needs it: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32880547383.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.52f44c4ddiKsJ6

Also a little more info, when I pulled the pump apart today, I think the entire problem was the poor quality rubber hose they used inside the tank, it was completely deteriorated and obviously leaking through the hose itself, had I caught that before I pulled it all apart I probably could have just put a new section of hose on it...but, the filter element was also deteriorating and falling apart so it probably ingested some of that too..

At the risk of sounding like a clueless dope, how do you know when the fuel pump needs replacing?
