Welcome to the forum.
The schematic you are looking at is for an '84. You should be looking at one for the .87 Aspy. There are differences.
Also, that looks like an aftermarket pump. May be wired differently than an OEM.
Also...and this is a big one...the '87 fuel system is one year only. NONE of the parts are interchangeable with any other year. Tank, petcock, hoses, filter, pump and carbs, the whole system, different.

Why not just look for the OEM relay and pump and be done with the issues?

 

[Bike...and Dennis]

Take the carbs off and see if you have a float -- that doesn't. Or possibly one that is stuck due to sludge buildup.
Anyway you look at it, I believe you're going to have to find an OEM pump and relay.

The pump is eBay.

No, the pump for the '87 has been out of stock for more than 10 years probably. I have a spare, but I'm keeping it.
Unfortunately, most '87 specific parts are no longer available. The seat on yours isn't correct because they ran out of them long ago, as well. I can't offer any sources, but surely, someone out there is parting an '87. You just have to be vigilant.

In the mean time, you could put a cheap used OEM from another year on it, with the stock relay it would work. You'd just have to rig a step-up for the hoses. The early ones had smaller ports. The one you have now may be small too. It looks like there are hose clamps on it.

I just looked on eBay and didn't see anything cheap enough and there's even a rusted out aftermarket one they are claiming is OEM, so you have to be cautious. Where are you located?

Floats can also leak and fill up with gas, so they no longer float. I've had a couple do that. On the second one I just replaced all 4.
While you've got the carbs apart it would be a good idea to replace the o-rings. OEM kits are cheaper and of course better quality than aftermarket. Jets clean up easily.

I'm not a fan of Seafoam. But some like it.
Maybe there's an answer on here somewhere.

I'm guessing these two are most pertinent.

Mostly, I'd guess that one of those spray cans of carb cleaner would work just fine, but...

Whoa, McKarlas! You joined in 2008 and already you have 3 posts? .

Two possibilities on the clutch slipping.
One; the oil.
Two; the damper plate.
Either way the clutch has to come out. Damper plate is no longer available for the 1200. 1500 unit might fit.
Are you starting to wish you'd bought an electric bicycle instead?

It's under the chrome thing, which pops out.
