fuel pump
i think my fuel pump on my 90 g8 is going bad. it will run but i have to pull out the choke. has anyone ever used an electric pump? NAPA has one that runs 1 1/2 to 3 lbs pressure. would that work if hooked up so it would only run when pedal is pushed? thanks for any help.

Re: fuel pump
Yep, that should work. Why not rebuild or replace what you have?

Re: fuel pump

Re: fuel pump
LOL!! Don't be frightened!!
The stock pump works on a pulse, push / pull, very simple. Rebuild is easy with a kit. This new pump is at a good price.>http://www.cartpartsplus.com/high-volume-fuel-pump.html |

Re: fuel pump
If you have to pull the choke out to keep it running then I would pull the carb and clean it paying close attention to the high speed jet and circuit.
Fuel pump is for getting fuel to the carb which it is doing. Air draws fuel from carb, if jets are clogged, choke will force more vacume to draw fuel....clean carb. |

Re: fuel pump
Most of these carts only want about 1 pound of fuel pressure. Anymore will force the float open ...... You can use an ezgo microswitch ( the one with a nice roller on the lever) mounted on the frame touching linkage to activate an electric pump. But I honestly think stock is better....

Re: fuel pump
I still say leave the stock pump and clean the carb, I'm all about letting the factory R&D teams to the hard work.
