4mildkue Posted February 18, 2012 Report Posted February 18, 2012 Im building another bike on alky I already have one that I'm running a dual pingle and bigger bowls...so this time I want to run a fuel pump its the manual one not electric..does it hook up were the pingle was?? If not where, I need all the help I can get Quote
sleeper06 Posted February 18, 2012 Report Posted February 18, 2012 you need to tap a pulse line into the intake runner on the cylinder,the pump i used for a build was a 65l/hr black pump if i remmember the flow rate correctly.The carbs were pumper carbs set up with a diffrent seat assembly.There are plenty of people on here that run these and can give you more details.Someone dropped all the parts off and i installed them i beleive he ordered all his stuff from sudco Quote
4mildkue Posted February 18, 2012 Author Report Posted February 18, 2012 Damn that sounds complicated Quote
n2otoofast4u Posted February 18, 2012 Report Posted February 18, 2012 Not hard at all, but IMO if you can get away without a pump, DO IT.. Pumps are a pain in the ass. Just another thing to go wrong, just another part to have to hide, just another hose to run. If you can get away with a big needle/seat, a good pingel, and a good vent and supply the fuel DO IT.. What carbs are you trying to run and what motor? Quote
bigboybanshee Posted February 19, 2012 Report Posted February 19, 2012 41 on a 10mil dm If you run a guzzler and gut the gas cap you more than likely won't need a pump for that engine. I've been feeding a 10mil DM w/ 44 lectrons, billet bowls and a guzzler valve for 3 years, no pump, no issues. This is for 300' though. I'm also a big advocate of not running a pump if you don't have to... Quote
n2otoofast4u Posted February 19, 2012 Report Posted February 19, 2012 There are scimitars, cougars, and triple cougars out there that dont run pumps. Not that I would run a motor of that size without a pump, but a 10dm I would definately setup the carbs for gravity if your tank is in a factory location. Quote
4mildkue Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Posted February 20, 2012 I wanna keep it simple as I can but if the pump is not needed then Im just going to go with the big bowls and the pingle again Quote
bigboybanshee Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 I wanna keep it simple as I can but if the pump is not needed then Im just going to go with the big bowls and the pingle again I would recommend using a guzzler. Mine would make it through 300' but not much further, then again, my carbs are bigger than yours. Quote
4mildkue Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Posted February 20, 2012 Well I might have to because I run 1/8 and I don't want to lean it out Quote
SlowerThanYou Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 Well I might have to because I run 1/8 and I don't want to lean it out A couple of us run 1/4 mile without a pump. I started with a pump & weaned myself off. You have to have everything right, but it's less hassle without one. Quote

You have to have everything right, but it's less hassle without one. I noticed in a few of your videos your running gas. Are you running gas 1/4 with no pump or alky? I wish pavement was bigger around here because Id like to give it a shot. That being said I can offer much advise on whether a pump is gonna be needed in 660 or not. My first thought is yes, but if it we me, Id use big bowls (maybe even weld 2 together) big needle/seat, big vents, etc in an effort to not run the pump. But if you have to run a pump its not the end of the world. Just make sure the carbs are setup for it, use a good fuel line for the pulse (so it doesnt colapse) and go for it. Its not the end of the world. I would however carry a spare pump. Quote

We started with a pump for about 150 runs & we carried two. Quote
4mildkue Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Posted February 20, 2012 A lot of guys around here runs pumps and I was just trying to see the advantages and disadvantages on the pump but it seems that the bigger bowls are just easier to deal with but I ordered some from m&m on my 4mil bike do y'all have any other suggestions on were to buy them Quote
