ZX9 Help
PaulYDP - 1/8/08 at 01:45 PM

Hi guys,

I'm currently fitting a zx9r (c) engine to my kitcar. I bought the car as a part build project and so it came with the engine.

However, there doesn't appear to be a fuel pump - what fuel pump is normally used with this engine? Should I just buy a standard zx9 fuel pump or is there a cheaper/better option? Also should it be mounted at the tank or where is best?


Thanks,
Paul

fit a standard one, bike carbs can pee out fuel if you use a car one.

They arn't too expensive either.

Any bike pump will do as long as it is similar displacement, and injection or carbed depending on what yours is (sorry I dont know the letters on 9's...)

the zx6r and zx9r carb fuel pumps are the same....they are made my mitsubishi....

Not to pricey on the web....£20 or so...Realy quiet as well...not that it matters

ask em to end early OR look for "spares" "breaking" and find suitable bikes that way, most of them have phone numbers on, call em and make a cheeky offer.
