I got a message from a member asking about this pump.
If you have a floor mounted gas tank and having issues with your stock pump (carburetor bowl gets empty on long stretch at WOT), get one of these.
Mikuni fuel pump
Not only did it do a great job on my 50cc engine, its does the same great job on my 150cc engine too, and I ride that thing like I stole it. I went on a small 3 days 1000 km ride this summer. Did some really long stretch at WOT and never had to let go of the throttle because the pump did not keep my carb's bowl full.
Stay away from THESE and THESE if you have a bottom mounted tank, the first one is of a more petcock valve then a pump, the second one is very unreliable. I had 3 that broke down on me in the first summer I had my scooter and neither of them 3 manage to keep my carburetor bowl full.
Unless you go all out with an electric pump system, its the best $25-$30 you can spend on your ride.

I have a Mikuni, and it kicks it. The second pump you show is (If I remember correctly) a Ningbo and has had "issues" in the past.  |

I was the member. I too have a Scooter that looks very similar to Katastroff's (not the one in my avatar), except mine is a 150cc. However, the fuel delivery system I would wager is identical. Another thing Identical was my scoot cuts out at WOT (Wide open throttle). There are other members on this board with the same scoot, having the same issue. I have ordered a Mikuni pump and will post the results once I get it on and installed! Thanks for starting this thread and spreading the word! |
