Desperate Help needed with Fuel Pump

Post

Back to the top
My fuel pump has packed up tonight and got it booked in for MOT in the morning. Trouble is I don't know what pump mine is off?
I'm running a 2l ABF on R1 bike carbs.
The pump  that's in has a Mitsubishi emblem on the bottom of it, Any ideas?
Or what I should replace it with?

So I found out it was yamaha R1 fuel pump. So I managed to source another bike pump (used) Got the car up and running but now when the ignition is on the pump is constantly pumping. Could it be the relay stuck?  Does anyone know the relay number please for the fuel pump please? It's an 83 tintop.
Thanks scott

Info for a standard fuse box but it seems by the fuel pump yours has been messed about with so it may or may not be in slot 2?

Normal position for the FPR is the second from the left on the top row, the position above your relay no 17. You can test this by taking the relay no 17, turn it through 180degrees and plug it in to the position above. This should make the FP come on with the ignition. But don't drive with it like this, as there is no safety cutout.

Am I correct in saying there wouldn't be a lifter pump on my 83 tintip. Is it just a fuel sender? Still having starting issues. It seems fine one started. Have a brand new fuel  pump to try tomorrow but I'm not getting fuel come up before the pump?

Was your car a GTi from factory?
I think 84 ish is when VW started to use a lift pump and I think it's cars with the bigger fuel tanks eg. space saver spare wheel?
