Hey,

Im putting a 40mm Weber onto my modified 1098cc. I was wondering what would be best to run with the weber, a mech fuel pump or an elec fuel pump?
The electric fuel pump i have is a fedtro pump.
http://shop.ebay.com.au/i.html?_nkw=Fedtro+fuel+pump&_sacat=0&_trksid=m270&_odkw=Facet+fuel+pump&_osacat=0 this is the pump i currently have.

Thanks Blake

Electric. It will (should) have more consistant delivery and it will get the fuel pipes away from your extractors.

If it supplied enough fuel using your SU (or what ever you had on it previously) then most likely yes.

The Fedtro 40104 is what i have fitted twice, once on my mini and once on my Moke!

Both times they have been great and the newest most recent one i got seemed to be a newer model. smaller and quieter!

So good luck and go electric!
