Fuel pump replacement

[Apex_4]

hello everyone, I'm the new owner of an 03' 450fse

the bike doesn't seem to prime when the key is turned.
and b y some odd turn of events, my trusty volt meter is missing!

alternatively, I removed the fuel pump assembly and directly tested 12v on the pump motor, it received the power, moved very slighty but didn't turn like it was frozen.

is there anything I should check before ruling that the pump is bad?

if it is indeed faulty, where can I find a pump for a decent price?
can my current pump be refurbished?

any and all help is apreciated!

First check your getting good voltage from the relay(back cover,rh side)bearing in mind it's a tachometricly controled unit.
The pumps have been generaly reliable.The wiring and switching not so.
Good luck finding oem.
In
an old thread here,someone used an airtex e7000 pump as a replacemnt.
I guess any intank 12v pump of similar dimensions would do the job.

Checked the relay and it was getting power.
Are there any specifications that I need to look for in a new pump? Does each pump have adjustable pressure and what does the gasgas call for?

Where could I find a pump like this?
What Else would I need for the setup? Ie pressure regulator?
