bike carbs
Hi all
I hope you might be able to help with this problem
I have a 2lt pinto in the car as yet not fired up
I have bought bike carbs cbr900 fireblade
I as yet do not have a fuel pump for them as there were none on the bike it was gravity fed
what is the correct fuel pump for this or can i just use the fuel pump that is on the car
any help would be super

If it was a carbed Pinto then it should be okay, if it was injected then you will need to reduce the pressure with a fuel regulator.

Fireblades do have pumps under the tank, you can use any big bike carb pump or a facet low pressure 1 - 4.5psi pump, I ran mine on one of these
FACET POSI FLOW FUEL PUMP 1.5 to 4.0 Psi + UNIONS | eBay

A malpasi filter king or just the fuel pressure regulator version will allow you to adjust pressure to suit.
On some carbs especially gravity fed 4.5 psi can be to high.
Electric fuel pump goes near the tank and low, they push and don't like to pull up from the tank, pressure reg goes in engine bay

the pump off just about any other carb'd bike (of a similar size) should be fine - and they regulate themselves too 
the ZX9R ones are quite neat - they come on a little bracket with a fuel filter...

^^ what Richard said
they don't have anything else on the bikes, so you don't need anything else to run the bike carbs on your car 
a few folk have had issues with fuel pressures being too high using normal pumps and regulators - but I've not heard of any issues using the
bike pumps
(I'm building my own car with a pump from a ZX9R 'C1', my carb's are from later a ZX9R 'E' )
been looking on ebay and the prices have gone up a bit since I got mine
(~£35 - 50 for a s/h external pump  - I paid less than £20! )
so it might be worth talking to bike breaker direcly...
