electric pump for FCRs

Post by bagmaker » Mon Feb 17, 2014 3:21 am

hi all,

I am interested in changing to an electric pump, like off an R1 / R6 or similar.
I know its been done a lot of times -
What is the current thinking, which model is best to use?
I am running FCR41s, I think they only need a couple of PSI.

I am getting some funny starvation issues, the standard pump seems to be working, I have done surgery and all is OK but I still seem a little dry in places.

Anyways, what are the recomendations
there are only 3 types of people in the whole world
those who can count
and those who cannot

Why? The diaphragm pump is more than sufficient and has never given me any issues with my FCR41's?

Are you sure it is a fuel supply issue and not a carb tuning issue ?
I have never had a fuel pump issue on either of my TRX's, run in various states of tune, but have done with other bikes with electric fuel pumps. Just another thing to go wrong I reckon.
It must be true, I read it on the internet.
