None of my bikes years ago had fuel pumps .
How come my  XVS engined Bulldog has one  ?
THe fuel tank is way above the carburettors .
Has gravity grown so weak over the years  ?
Plus ... what stops the fuel pump from flooding the float chambers ?

..... all this new-fangled  new-fangled .....

It's got fuel injection don't it? Well then you need a fuel pump!

In that case it's more than likely to prevent vapor lock. I thought they all
had fuel injection. My bad.

Gravity does not work well enough as the Bulldog will need more fuel than
gravity can supply so you need a pump
