thanks

I'm going to assume you are running carbs?

There is no correct one since no 914 ever came with one.

When i had my carbed 2056, i ran a CB Performance rotary pump which was much, much quieter.

I think Facet pumps were outlawed under the Geneva Convention against torture. wacko.gif

@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=179 - that's where I was going with that, this is probably the best pump to run whether you are in a 4 or a 6 and have carbs.

Andy is spot on. beerchug.gif

Yup I run the same one.

I agree with the others on fuel pumps- I have the same on my carbed 1.9l, but I do have a Facet pump you can have for the cost of shipping, if you’re just trying to get it running.

The Facet I have will only work for carbs, by the way. FI needs much higher pressure and a return line.

has anyone used the Mr Gasket 3psi pump?

Remember to purchase a fuel pressure regulator when you buy the facet. Figure out a way to isolate the pump if mounted on a metal surface. The rattling is very annoying.

Two questions:

Why are they still manufacturing freaking Facet Fuel Pumps! ???

Why are people still buying them???

In my humble opinion, best to run a rotary pump, a fuel pressure regulator (I used the one from PMO) and a return line. I did this with a dual carb set-up (40 IDF)

Because people buy them.

hey ya'll thanks for the replies.
so i'm thinking that the thing to do is ditch the facet and go with the rotary.
got it!
thanks for helpin the new guy out!

Definitely the rotary pump as mentioned, and a fuel regulator.

(and we don't need another 10 page thread carbs vs FI)
