Looking for any information about location of the fuel pump for a carb converted 914. Under the gas tank I assume since a low pressure pump needs good head pressure to operate correctly. With that said is there a preferred pump to use. What tubing/hose is everyone using for transiting the tunnel. Braided or a thick walled high pressure rubber fuel line. I've looked for threads within the site but didn't find any although I'm still learning the site. Any help is appreciated

Somewhat surprised that it worked for you. I had a stroked TI engine that suffered fuel starvation with one. Ayup, worked fine as frog hair. No regulator, just a straight shot to the carbs. Noisy till you lit off the engine, then it just kinda blender in with the racket.....no shortage of fuel....ever. The T-4 short, eh?....right. They are such a high demand engine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)  Conventional internet wisdom. me thinks. Ya better get something trick |
