fuel pump
wrigglypig - 11/8/09 at 10:24 PM

I have been told that the std pinto fuel pump has too much pressure for bike carbs (ZZR1100) in my case. Can anyone confirm this?? If this is the case is a pressure regualtor an option (if so what pressure?) Failing this will any decent size bike pump fit??

Any help appreciated

IMHO it's not worth faffing around with pressure regulators. Just get a self-regulating bike pump and be done with it

Any bog engined bike pump will do, just be aware that you need different ones on carbs to injection, so make sure you pick a similar alternative. Also remember the id of the fuel line is best the same at both ends.
