Wes,if the flow rate of the mitsu pump you using is similar to the Honda OEM,then it should not give you a problem.Maybe yours is with a higher flow rate so more fuel are being 'forced' into the carbs w/o giving any additional benefits.
Pumps with lower rate will cause fuel starvation though.That is why injection engines have very high fuel pump pressure but there is always a gadget called ECU to regulate match the air/fuel mixture.Maybe you can check with Chan what's the flow rating.
A common problem would be,people would assume that all 'Mitsubishi' pumps are the saem but there is also carburated and injected engines for Mitsubishi so the choice is yours.

Hmm....never expect datz 2 happen..I never try usin the car fuel pump thou the OEM is actually from Mitsubishi cos the logo is there...my fren bought wrongly(he bought the Steed fuel pump), but until now it has clock 70k km n is still goin(i left the fuel lever to reserve)..so far it can hit 430 km n i never try go beyond it..last week i just bought the AT fuel pump at $110 for spare..i expect the 1 i'm using to give way soon...hopefully u could get the right fuel pump..maybe u r using the different type/version of car fuel pump..hope u can get it done quick..good luck

My so called OEM fuel pump also has a small mitsubishi logo on it but the mechanic insist thats the OEM honda.
I tend to agree with Azly explaination... however that was the first time i pump fuel since new fuel pump, so let me monitor a few weeks.
I am not sure if it is just my feeling playing with me, but somehow i feel my bike accelerates smoother somehow.

Wes u also experience the same thing? The last time before my fuel pump went kaput i can travel 400-430km...then i blur cock wash n service carb instead of changing my fuel pump straight away...mileage went down to 360-380km ...so i thought oklah my fault the bros here always say dont touch the carb if it doesnt give trouble...*Stubborn a$$* Then again wif my full set of H&B...I thought wif all these factors i will nvr reached tat kind of mileage again  but since u brought the topic out maybe i try the OEM with no other changes wif my bike then we see how...But hope not anytime soon... |

Mr madness o madness How come still bring up here. A lot of people had already given you the $5 solution. Why not try it out to see if the consumption improves. Then share you experiences with fellow AT riders.... |

maybe riding behaviour... But anyway there's no way to verify the $5 solution cos Mr Madness is too busy to try it out. Maybe you want to try out riding for a week without panniers and let us know whether the $5 solution works. |

Fuel consumption varies slightly according to where the bike is parked,riding behaviour and alot of other factors.Say,if you bike is parked under the hot sun for hours,dun you think that the petrol will eveporate to vapour and escape via your breather hose?If you travel at nite at a cooler temp,won't it help you save some petrol?Sometimes,it's better not to pay too much attention over this nitty-gritty issues.Most of us buys our choiced bikes to enjoy riding it,some for it's performance,some for the looks.So let us enjoy our bikes and not let fuel consumption bother us so much as long as you are getting the average.
BTW,FYI,my bike running @150km/h will run out of petrol just before Ayer Keroh exit.Damned!That's just a tat before 200km......

Yeah lah Andrew me juz too lazy to take out my panniers and bring along my helmets when jln2 so i tried twice without them and i find it too troublesome  but anyway I think im the slowest when riding AT around so i dont think my riding behaviour contribute much... Me no feather weight either hor! My fats contribute 25% of my body weight oready but thanx for the compliment  ... Now latest my bike can go nearly 400km before reserve riding 100-110km/hr n i have no complains... Juz enjoy the ride like wat azly says...As long as the bike happy i happy... ;D |

I changed to Mitsubishi Fuel Pump(CB1 model according to Azly) since 15,000km when my OEM fuel pump failed. My current mileage is 67000km, it reliable. Fuel cunsumption is the same as OEM.
But I realised that it abit noisier. That All
