The OEM fuel bulb is PN 6YK-24360-73-00, but I replaced mine with "5 oceans" brand and it's been great. I replaced it with Pactrade brand first, but that thing disintegrated. Never would I buy another product from them. You're supposed to replace them every 2 years regardless of condition. (b.o.a.t = break out another thousand!)
Well, tried removing the bulb between the tank and filter (that I replaced), put new plugs in and she wouldn't kick... Regaped plugs and she fired (valuable lesson learned), but still had surging (as if gear shifting) issues... Thinking it might be more CDI related??? Open to other suggestions... Ugh
