I've got a ZX9R pump to fit to mine. What was you're pump designed for originally?
Engine size, Carb, Inj etc...

CEC pumps tend to be rated for different pressure / flow rates than BEC pumps.
You could use the in-tank pump to get the fuel to a swirl pot and then use an inline bike pump to take it to the carbs...

I think you'll find the blade pump has a pressure switch in it to prevent the carb float chamber overfilling. When the engine's running,
it will be blipping on and off as fuel is used from the float chamber.
I'm sure you can use a non blade pump, but you need to regulate the flow rate to cope with tick over and flat out.
