Wiring bike fuel pump
Roman - 30/11/08 at 01:03 AM

Is it possible for someone to guide me through wiring up a bike fuel pump or point me in the right direction for the information.

Thank you.

Usually only 2 wires for carbs, switched with the ignition.

So just as simple as 1 wire to ground and 1 to position 2 on ignition switch?

is black live and the body earth? the body does have a spade connector on it

The facet pumps are body earthed, but but no spades, they use a short wire with two ring connectors which are used to bridge the rubber mounts.
