Hi Mike:

I am using the Facet Posi Flow pumps . I have mikuni solex carbs and my
pumps are max. 5lb to min. 3.5lb, and I run a regulator in line at 4lb . If
you are running Hitachi carbs I think the 4lb to 2.5lb pump is adequate. The
Aircraft Spruce & Facet site part #s are 60300 for 4lb max. to2.5 lb min  &
60301 for the 5lb max & 3.5 ldmin.

Hope this helps.

Good information to know, Fred. There's several models with different pump
pressures, can you tell me which model of the Facet Posi-Flo pumps you're
using ? 
Thanks,

Hi:   (I tried to send this a couple of days ...guess pressed the wrong
keys)

 

I use two  Facet Posi-flo solid state fuel pumps in line individually
switched  with "key on power".  One pump is a primary and is used most of
the time, the other is back up and only used if the other fails, which
hasn't happened , yet.  The value of these pumps over most others is that
they can pump gas through or draw gas through the another in line (most fuel
pumps can't do that except the standard Datsun mechanical pump.  The other
benefit is that they are fairly inexpensive, fairly quiet and reliable. They
are used a lot in ultra light aircraft, see  Aircraft Spruce web site under
engines, fuel pumps.

 

Mine are on a '69 Datsun 2000 Solex.
