Getting older and buying a new CB1100

[tommymck]

To have the job done right and for piece of mind, replace big fuel pump ass-y base rubber gasket/#7, fuel line dumper/#3 & retainer/#11.
Torque M6 nuts to specs/9 ft-lb.

Prior tank removal:
* while idling, disconnect 4 pin black fuel pump connector and let the engine die, crank 1-2 times, ignition OFF. This will remove fuel pressure from the fuel line
* M8 bolt out
* lift the gas tank up and disconnect its rubber breather hose, very sure it will be stuck, so spry WD40 or similar and crack it loose by twisting, then disconnect it
* insert 2x4 between your tank and frame to gain more room while disconnecting the fuel line


* after reassembling and reconnecting everything back, turn ignition ON/OFF a couple of times to prime the fuel system, then fire her up at the first shot. While idling, observe any fuel leaks.

You'll find several videos online that show the process. Beware though. They are all (that I found) pre-2017 EX models. Removal of the fuel line at the fuel pump is different on the 2017s. I had a post on it somewhere here. There is a white "clip" that looks like it is part of what is holding the line onto the pump, but it's actually a sort of tool that is used to expand the real clip. I'll see if I can find it. Knowing the trick turns a couple of miserable hours into a 5 minute process.

EDIT: Nevermind....I saw EX in your signature and didn't realize you were talking about your DLX. There are a couple of threads here and several videos that I "think" should cover the DLX.
