I've been doing some work on my new-to-me Dino over the last week or so to ensure it's up to scratch and fitting cruise control (which I'll add pix for when finished) while I'm about it. I also have a Kawasaki 1400GTR (and a few other bikes) which is prone to fuel pump issues when the dirty local fuel blocks the suction screen on the pump. I also fixed a friend's Kawasaki VN1600 last year, which wouldn't run since it was parked a year or more earlier. As it happens, the Dino fuel pump, which I removed today to check, is similar to the VN1600 and early ZXZ14 (ZZR1400) in that it has the very same internal filter within the pump unit on the pressure side of the pump element. The VN1600 pump was stuffed and the filter totally blocked. The black cap is 'welded' to the white housing and a small screwdriver needs to be used to split it off. So, if anyone has fuel supply issues, the problem may be a blocked filter, which is inaccessible without destroying the pump - just so you know what's in there.
Below are pix of the DN pump. You will observe that the white housing has the same black cap as the Kawasaki pump.
