December 10, 201311 yr comment_437711 Should have went with RX7 pump- cheap and very quiet.I would go with a relay for sure. You might check out my Mikuni thread for a write up. You should have the proper power supply behind your heater control panel - green and black wire.

December 10, 201311 yr Author comment_437713 Actually i have not yet purchased the pump, any pump will do, as long as it does these:1) feeds the triples2) has return line3) easy to install4) quite affordable Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/48121-carter-rotary-pump/#findComment-437713 Share on other sites More sharing options...
December 10, 201311 yr comment_437714 If you go into the Carb section (Mikuni) you will find lots of info - I would install one of these without a doubt just in case. Mounted my switch on the fire wall below the wiper switch. I did not pull the power from the pre ran wiring. Just in case I were to have an accident I wanted the power cut from the pump immediately! The Carter pump in a little loud at idle inside the car - but as soon as you go you can't hear it due to the music from the Mikuni's. Anymore I don't even listen to the radio - exhaust tone is the best!Google Image Result for http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5e/InertialSwitch.jpg/220px-InertialSwitch.jpg Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/48121-carter-rotary-pump/#findComment-437714 Share on other sites More sharing options...

December 11, 201311 yr Author comment_437741 I already own this Holley regulator, so yes im putting it in http://www.jegs.com/images/photos/500/510/510-12-803.jpgIm using the stock fuel piping, so i meant that the fuel pump has return. I'll have to look into those RX7 pumps, might not be that cheap here. Carters are 150$ at cheapest.

December 11, 201311 yr comment_437751 You can get a Carter fuel pump for the RX-7 if this is the one: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/crt-p60504/overview/make/mazda/model/rx-7Carter is still made in USA. Recently read an article online about Federal Mogul selling the Carter division (and the Carter factory). F-M spokesman said they're getting rid of factories in all countries with high labor costs (and adult workers?). According to the article, the new owners will continue making fuel pumps at the USA factory with the same employees.

December 13, 201311 yr Author comment_437816 Might be worth trying, as the price is so low. Still hoping if you guys have plenty of more pictures of different fuel pumps installed on Z Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/48121-carter-rotary-pump/#findComment-437816 Share on other sites More sharing options...
