Has anyone replaced thier fuel pump recently ? how much did it cost ? what one did you get ?

I need to replace mine as it clearly isnt flowing enough fuel to supply the weber carby, will a new replacement flow enough or should i get somthing with a higher flow rate ? if so what will fit easily ?

i was over my fuelpump running dry over night, so i got a unleaded tank and electric fuel pump and wired it up. i reckon the stocko electric pump will solve your flow issues... the electric fuel pumps have a bypass that you can probably change to increase flow tot he carby.

yeah ive got the original electric pump in the tank but i dont know if its working properly, it is 20 years old after all. i might have to test how much it pumps into a jar in 10 seconds as in the gregorys manual.

i thought you may have been having flow problems with the mechanical pump... if you having trouble with the electric pump, well if you get your hands on a leaded tank, then only have a pick up in the tank (no fuel pump), allowing you to use an external pump - perhaps a VL fuel pump or similar?
