Pump

I used a mikuni motorcycle pump, It worked very well for me.

You just run it off of crank case pressure right? I was was thinking of relocating my tank to the back of the boat one would think the boat would handle better from lowering the center of gravity.

[jimmy112j]

Exactly, I did the same thing for the same reason. Only thing is you need a lot of fuel line.

I agree that they look nice and may handle slightly better, but keep in mind that gravity doesn't fail. I have seen a few fuel pump issues cause a missed heat of racing. I may go to it eventually, but not yet.

This is so true does this ok for Stock or not?

Anybody have any info. on elec. fuel pumps ?

Simple.....

It is elementary.......

electric fuel pump= 12v power source to drive it, not ideal.

mechanical fuel pump= crankcase Hg & PSI pulses to drive it.

Keep it simple and just use the stock Yamato tank.

Biggest down side I see to the block mounted tank, is at races where fueling in the water is prohibited.
Hauling in/out for 2l of fuel is a pain. A 2gal tank in the bottom of the boat lets u race all day.
But I see some with extra large tanks.
Are they OEM, and are they kosher?

Yeah, buddy...

Keep it simple and just use the stock Yamato tank.
