Facet fuel pump?

Post by midget »

I am fitting a crankcase breather to my A+ engine in the Minor,so have to find an alternative fuel pump.
I am looking at a Facet pump as these have been recommended by others, but unsure as to which one to go for?
Would appreciate suggestions from others who may have fitted these please. I note that manufacture recommends fitting at rear, to use as "pusher" pump as opposed to the Minor puller type.

I have got the Facet Red Top pump fitted at the rear of my Minor and no problems.
The Facet fast road fuel pump Pt No: 40106 will be more than adequate for your needs.
I would suggest that you fit a Filter King fuel pressure regulator.

The fuel pressure regulator needs to be fitted as close to the carb as possible so mine is mounted on the revised mount bracket for the windscreen wiper i.e. bulkhead.

This is where I put ours, used 2 of the holes meant for the felt clips inside to mount it.
