How to test a electronic fuel pump in under 3 minutes CARBURETOR & EFI

How to test an electronic fuel pump in under 3 minutes with a Power Probe! This test will work with low-pressure CARBURETOR & high-pressure EFI,
We all know how much a pain it is to change fuel pumps that are housed in the fuel tank. If you turn wrench’s long enough, you will someday get a bad brand new one. Here’s some tech tips for you:
TECH TIP 1:
Always perform this test on the new fuel pump to verify (at a minimum) that it will pump. Remember new parts are not always perfect!
TECH TIP 2:
For those creative techs out there, here is the advanced tip:
Put a fuel pressure gauge on the outlet hose and verify the actual PSI capability of the pump.

Keep Wrenching,

You will see that many of the tips and procedures used are universal for skill sets "every mechanic should know" and that the biggest value to my videos is the teaching of these skills that are not found in a service manual.
I often get asked this question:
Q: How does one learn these skill sets "every mechanic should know" if they are not found in a manual?
A: NUMBER 1.....GET DIRTY and start wrenching.
-Ask questions
-Find a seasoned craftsman to mentor under
-Tech schools can significantly speed this time up
-Research, read, watch CZcams videos
Tip: You will never learn it all from one source or in a short time period. No matter what craft you are trying to master, YOU must be dedicated and put the time in. THERE IS NO BETTER WAY TO LEARN THAN DOING! I will say it again, you must actually do the work to master it. You cannot just watch or read about it and master anything.
You want to be a master bike builder, mechanic, welder, nurse, carpenter or you fill in the blank?
-Don't take for granted opportunities to learn deeper
-Be humble and seek advice
-Be intentional with your learning plan
-Don't blame a school, job or your parents for not giving you ever answer, go get it!
I teach a motorcycle/powersports technician program at Western Iowa Tech Community College in Sioux City, Iowa. These videos are used for review of labs for students and creating a deeper understanding of the lesson/skill set. As there is often more than one way of doing something, may you enjoy this free information as much as our students do in person. PLEASE HIRE OUR GRADUATES!
