Personally, I'd recommend running the stock fuel pump. I ran the stock pump with dual webbers and never had a problem. I would imagine you'd be just fine with the stock arrangement considering you only have one carburetor. Chris |

I have looked the pump over and found no flow arrow. Safety circuit, like a

Safety circuit, like a > switch or an inline fuse? > a safety circuit like this will be a nice addition.... http://www.nls.net/mp/volks/schem/pump.gif if you wire it straight to the ignition it may continue to pump fuel in the event of an accident....that can be bad.... you can also get an inertia switch (like a late model ford truck uses or similar) that will stop power to th epump in the event of a collision...... i at one time had a very nice safety switch that was overkill....it was designed for use in racecars and had an inertia switch, a relay that hooked into your oil pressure circuit and had a mercury switch tha twould kill power in the event of a rollover....as i said, it was overkill and also pretty expensive....but i had it on hand....now a simple circuit such as above is what i use... |

Electric Fuel pump question
Ok, the only helpful comment I can make concerns the weber carb. I am
running dual webers and had problem with the fuel pressure. The weber books I have stress that to much fuel pressure causes them to run like crap (over 3 lbs). I put a fuel regulator after the fuel pump and set it at 3 lbs pressure. It ran much better without any exhaust popping or overloading at all ranges and the exhaust pipe is not black anymore. By the way, this is with a stock fuel pump. Good luck. Dennis href="http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=4025706&a=30209382&vt=vp">Den's 1977 Puma</a> |

IMHO, you have been lucky. I mounted one of John C's rotary pumps under the tank. I also wrapped it with 1/2" fuelproof aircraft soundproofing. It is almost dead silent and works very well. It is critical to use a filter between the tank and pump. I put another filter in back. Clean fuel is a good thing. |

I installed one next to the engine, is not under the
tank but never gave me a hassle. Saved me from those mechanical pumps which always fail and cost 5 times the price of an electric one.

>> with 1/2" fuelproof aircraft soundproofing. It is almost dead silent and >> works very well. Looks like I may need to consider the electric pump option. If they can hold up to the ethanol gas we have to run in our tanks for four months of the year. Since blended gas was introduced I have been going through Mexican/Brazilian mechanical pumps on average of one pump every two years. |
