You have to use an aftermarket fuel pump since all US 914-4s came with fuel injection. Someone will chime in with recommendations...
As an FYI you only need a few PSI (3-5ish) to run carbs, whereas the FI needs almost 30. NEVER use a stock (FI) fuel pump with carbs. |

The cheapest and simplest option is the CB Performance fuel pump. It's regulated to 3.5 PSI which is exactly what you need. That way you also don't need to fool with an external fuel pressure regulator.

actually it's a carter pump. call the local parts store and ask if they have one. ensure it's the self regulated one and has the correct pound delivery. there will prob be a metal canister on a short piece of hose attached to it. it's a filter. one time use squeeze clamps. pita. toss it if you want and use a stock fi or bmw (crusty john knows the part #) filter and shouldered clamps.

i looked up carter fuel pumps and it looks like jegs is the only company close to me that has them(according to the internet, i have not called other places yet) but all of the electric fuel pumps psi is much to high. the closest on i found was 4-6 psi, is it ok to have a pump that has an output over the 3.5psi? http://www.jegs.com/i/Carter/180/P4070/100...roductId=748050
thanks of the help guys |

Anything above about 5 psig will override the float needle valve causing a fuel leak in the carbs. Most street cars utilize about 3.5 psig. I ran the race cars at 5 psig.
There are inexpensive fuel pressure regulators. |
