does anyone still run them ? I cant seem to get any luck out of electric ones - thinking about going back to a mechanical pump. Its on a 1915 with a progressive carb

I dont use them but i do have a lot of buddys that run them with stroker motor. Didnt think that would work but they run them every day.

im with u,i figured they would run ur carbs out of gas but big strokers run them all time,u should be good on a 1915,and the electric one should be good,if u got a regulator on it take it off and throw it away

I dont have a regulator on it - they just quit working - had to keep beating on it yesterday to get out of the woods. Tired of throwing money away to Advanced Auto if I dont need to. Thanks guys
Larry

It is funny, I was just looking at my mechanical fuel pump tonight and thinking about replacing it but the mechanical fuel pump just keeps working...

i run a mechanical on my 2276 and have had no problems...also a number one rule for me,,,I NEVER buy any thing electrical from Advanced Auto or Auto Zone, I once had to replace a starter on my 1969 chevy truck in a parking lot,,truck had headers which made it tricky to do,,then after the 3rd "new" starter i got one that was good.

I had the same bad luck with the junk from advance. After two of them I broke down and went to summit. I was told the mechanical pumps won’t keep up, but I never tried them personally. But I wish Ii did it could of saved me a lot of money. I’ll say this though if I have another problem I’m going back to OEM.

Rotary style electric fuel pumps have proven VERY reliable to me. About $70. They come with a filter and are preset to 3 psi. Been running the same one for 5 yrs with no problem yet. (Knock on wood ) Changed the filter once. Forget that Autozone and Advance junk. Call Southern buggies or Davis Racing or one of our other advertisers and get a decent fuel pump and be done with it.

A mechanical pump will do fine for puttin around or mild playin on shorter stuff. But do you really wanna risk running out of fuel in your carbs on a bad ass hill because you run a fuel pump designed to supply a single one bbl carb on a 1600cc motor??

Can't beat a nice 044, a little pricey but they just don't stop going.

buggy ran fine with stock pump, and i climbed some long hills - never ran out of fuel.

thank, larry
