Fuel Pump Location
Posted: Fri Mar 19, 2010 10:23 pm
Folks, I'm building a TRX special and want to re-position the vacuum fuel pump from its standard position at the rear of the tank just below the fuel tap, to a new position either under the tank in front of the carbs (no airbox so lots of room) or at the left side of the carbs where the petrol tank breather goes into the frame.
Question: does the vacuum pump need to be below the bottom of the tank to work properly? I'm concerned that if I raise the height of it, or move it away from the fuel tap that I might have problems with either priming or fuel flow.
Can anyone give me some advice on this??????
