best to use the bike pump it will be the correct pressure.
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

don't know sorry
but most folk seem to get the best results using the fuel pump off the bike (or a similar one) as I think most of them self-regulate

Very low pressure (1.5 or 2.0 psi) but very high volume - as above - use a bike pump.

Why high flow? they use less fuel than webbers! I run my bike carbs on standard pinto pump and filter king at lowest setting, (with screw just about
to fall out)
Phoned the local ramblers club today, but the bloke who answered just
went on and on.

but the bike pump is easier and cheaper 
and some of them (like the ZX9R) are external pumps on nice little mounting braket with the filter

Not if you already have a mechanical pump and regulator fitted

I started with a Facet pump and a Filter King regulator - I could never get a consistent supply at that very low pressure.
The engine was much improved after fitting a bike fuel pump.

I would go with a Bike pump from the same bike which the Carbs came off. They are cheaper than a Facet pump and regulator and you will get the right
fueling pressure from the outset.
Make sure that you mount the bike pump as close to the tank as possible as they push rather than pull. Its also important to get them on rubbers as
they don't like constant vibrations.
