Kawasaki Genuine Part 49040-0801 PUMP-FUEL
The Kawasaki Genuine Part 49040-0801 is a high-performance, pulse-style vacuum fuel pump engineered for Kawasaki’s vertical and horizontal V-Twin engines. It is a critical component of the fuel delivery system, responsible for drawing fuel from the vehicle’s tank and providing a consistent flow to the carburetor.
Features:
-
Pulse-Driven Diaphragm System: Operates using the engine's natural crankcase pressure (vacuum pulses) rather than electrical power. This makes it highly reliable for remote use and reduces the electrical load on your equipment's battery.
-
Mikuni-Engineered Precision: Often manufactured by Mikuni for Kawasaki, this pump features high-quality internal check valves that prevent fuel from siphoning back into the tank when the engine is off, ensuring faster, reliable "first-crank" starts.
-
Ethanol-Resistant Construction: Built with specialized internal rubber and composite materials that are specifically tested to resist the corrosive effects of E10 and E15 ethanol-blended fuels, preventing the diaphragm from becoming brittle or leaking.
-
High-Volume 250ml/min Flow Rate: Capable of delivering a consistent 250ml of fuel per minute, which is more than sufficient to prevent "engine starving" even when the engine is under a maximum cutting load or climbing steep hills.
-
Universal V-Twin Mounting: Features a standard 2.83-inch (72mm) bolt-center distance, making it a direct "bolt-on" replacement for nearly all Kawasaki FR, FS, and FT series engines without requiring any bracket modifications.
-
Triple-Port Configuration: Clearly marked ports for Fuel In, Fuel Out, and Vacuum Pulse, allowing for straightforward installation with standard 1/4-inch (6mm) fuel lines.
