Locost Fuel Pumps
mikeb - 3/10/08 at 02:05 PM

Looking for the locost way of supply fuel to my zx9r carbs (2.0lt zetec).

a zx9r fuel pump on ebay is around £40.
a zx6r seem a little cheaper around £30.

Seen a facet pump for £32 plus delivery.

What are the cheaper options??
Do I need a fuel pressure regulator?
Thanks

Mike

you should be able to find a kwak zx pump for around £15....

They are made by mitsubishi....and fitted to lots of things!

Any carbed bike pump will do, injection pumps are far too high pressure.

With the Facet, you'll probably need a regulator, something like a filter king, to drop the pressure to 1.5 - 2 psi, I have the low pressure red top pump at 4-6 psi, which is a bit much for bike carbs without the regulator, so using a FK.

most of the stuff on ebay seems to have a buy it now around £35-£40, there dosn't seem to be many bargains there at the minute!

Any Mitsubishi pump will do. The problem with Facets is getting the pressure down and shutting off like the bike pumps do when the bowls are full.
