camerondownunder88 Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Hi, The reason I asked this as my mates car had 2 SU carbies on it with a malpassi fuel pump electric one for carbies and for ages just didn't run right till he removed the fuel pump and then with factory pump in place it worked fine. So I have just been warned they can cause issues as they can over do the fuel delivery. So that question was posted out of interest to see if a standard Asian likes those cheap electric fuel pumps or if the Asian suffers with using one. As I have been looking at buying one for my self so was just curious. Cheers Cameron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrospekt Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Wow a fair bit of blatant pointless bashing here....... electric fuel pumps can cause problems with carbs if they are a high pressure pump. Go for the highest volume possible but with a fairly low pressure, and it won't cause problems. High pressure pumps can destroy the floats and jets etc in a carb. Funny how one person says something and everyone else jumps on the flaming bandwagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clapped out Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 ^^^^^^^^^every word you said is true, every word, (I'm part of the problem too) you can run any electronic fuel pump you like (not injection pumps though), depends what is on hand and available at the time. if the pump isnt matched to the application your useing it for, install a fuel regulator, problem solved! Sorry for off topic guys! cheers phatke30! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGH ROLLER Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Wow this car is clean... I love it mate, keep up the great work.... not that theres much to do as it already looks spotless... Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHATKE11 Posted October 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Hey guys, finally got the old girl on the road. Goes well but like all projects there is always one or two things that need to be fixed after its on the road. Exhaust is a bit how you going and the car seems to be chewing the fuel, yes i know i have twin carbs but still it is a little higher consumption as it should be so a good tune of the carbs might be on the cards. Stay tuned for more pics, anyone attending the jap classic this weekend on the northside of brissy please come check it out!!!!

camerondownunder88 Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Hi, Congrats on getting it on the road. With twin carbies I find a great tuning tool is a good accurate vacuum gauge on the manifold I have mounted on my KE15 console and also the Jaycar O2 sensor kit with LED display in the car. Can get a good tune at home and work out which carbie is richer and while driving get 02 read outs 24/7 when it is on great kit about $60 I can recommend getting one.
