Need help with an 1500 Wing

[RickW.]

Our SE Ohio Ride that a lot of you have participated in went well today.  130 people and about 85 bikes.

We did have one break down and need help or information for the person.  He has a 1999 1500 wing that quit going into a corner.  Appeared that it was not getting any gas.  They took the filter off then put it back together.  The bike went about half a mile then quit again.  Appears that the fuel pump went out.  Does anyone have any helpful information or a spare fuel pump.
The bike was trailer-ed back to the Best Western in Zanesville Ohio where our event is based out of.
If anyone is close email me at rmwiles1@gmail.com.
Thanks,
Rick

I stole the from Steve Saunders' web page here: http://www.goldwingfacts.com/forums/2-goldwing-technical-forum/388784-gl1500-fuel-pump-replacement-napa-p72190-pump-easy-fix.html

I did some research and found that the Napa P72190 fuel pump ($60) runs at 15 GPH and about 2.5-3.5 psi which is closer to the stock 10 GPH. The Delphi and Airtex pumps listed in other posts are running at +/- 20 GPH.

I bought the Napa pump today along with a fuel strainer for the inlet Napa FS0009 ($8).

I followed the instructions on http://www.berrysweb.com/1500_fuel_pump.htm

The Napa pump comes with a rubber sleeve that fits around the pump and fits into the metal band on the Wing's pump bracket perfectly. It also comes with two connecting wires with fittings on them. I unscrewed the old wires and installed the new ones in their place. The length was perfect. I installed a new piece of 5/16 fuel line and it was done.

I put it back in the tank and after priming it, the bike fired right up! Best $70 I've spent.

 EDIT: this pump produces 2.5 psi as measured by a fuel gauge.
