fuel pump swappin!

[fizzer600]

so i posted in the general discussion about a fuel pump swap and well my pump quit working and im too cheap to buy a pump thats half the cost of the bike itself. so i went to my oreillys and got the Mr.Gasket 4-7 psi pump they had there.thanks sweekster for a second opinion!! i put it on and it said you had to mount it at a 45 deg. angle to the plane of the tank. there aint a helluva lotta room under the tank but it does fit! plumbed it in and it primes, so i took it out and really tested that pump!!! everything works well...............for now. that sunuva biotch better not quit on me 50 miles from home!!!

45 degree angle?

What is this....I don't even...

Glad it worked out. I plan on putting the same pump on my bike. That is when I have the time and money for my bike.

yep. the fuel pump has to be mounted at 45 degree angle (so the inlet is pointed slightly down) otherwise i guess youll burn up the pump.thats what the instructions said. it makes sense im sure a fuel pump will push fuel better than pulling it . i dont know all i know as it works!!!!!!
