Yamaha XV535 Virago

[mark payton]

Can i ask a general question?

I am trying to drain the bottom tank on a 1990 xv535

The drain plug wont budge, if i disconnect the hose from the carburettor

that is attached to the fuel pump, and apply a constant 12volt source

across the fuel pump, will the pump continuously pump out the fuel, or

will it act as normal and work for five seconds before it shuts off?

Thanks

Mark.
