vauxsenb Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I have heard this being used before, with my R1's I use a redtop Facet pump which cost around £60 plus a Sytec pressure reg which was about £20 IIRC, so do the sums for yourself but I cant see why it wouldnt work, it only needs 3psi @ the carbs (much the same as Webers) HTH cheers, Colin.

stradacab Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Mine has the R1 pump . I think it is something to do with self regulating and not needing a tank to return so less complex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modgod Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 after further discusion with my mate he says the pumps are regulated/metred to run with the r1 carbs (3 psi) so no need to have a regulator & the relay is built in ,he said just keep the pump as close as poss to the tank & they work no probs..
