What Fuel Pump for twin 40s?
The Doc - 2/1/08 at 05:08 PM

Does the fuel pump have to be red top or similar for these or will a standard pump do the job?

Just that I'm a tight git!

My 40s worked fine off the standard Pinto mechanical pump.

Anything that is high flowing but low pressure. So you could use an alternative to a Red Top pump in conjunction with a pressure regulator.

Someone will have suggestions for second hand/scrap yard alternatives.

Mine also works fine with standard pinto pump, as did my last build,

Anyone find the same result with Xflow?

I had a 1650 pre-crossflow on twin 40s and initially used the standard mechanical pump. The carbs ran dry after a short full throttle burst. I changed to a Facet Red Top and Filter King and this arrangement worked perfectly.

I have a facet pump (mini electronic).

You do need a regulator. My webers do not like to run at more 3psi.......

Oh I have a 1300 xflow.....

As Fozzie said, if you fit a facet pump(mines the fast road one) you will need a regulator. My carbs overflow without one
