hi all
im working on a bike carb convertion. got my hands on some keihin cvk.

at the moment im using the standard pinto fuel pump but im aware that this will be to high of a pressure for the carbs. what fuel opptions do i have?
i have heard of using a faset pump with a pressure regulator and also some rumors or using the standar pinto pump to run a feed and return to tank systom ?

any help will be a great help

Hi Ryan,

Your best off with a pump from a bike.
I have the same carbs on my zetec ATM and have used the
pump from the same bike(zx9r)
The carbs only need 1.5-2.0 psi to run correctly.

For bike carbs the best fuel pump is a bike pump off say a zx9r
only use a carb pump not FI pump
