beandip Posted August 13, 2003 Share #2 Posted August 13, 2003 Are you sure the pump is not getting power? The electric pump was installed by t he factory in the '73s to help withe the vapor lock problem. I am running just the electric pump on my Z and it works just fine. If your elect pump is shot, go to the bone yard and find a RX-7 that is carberated for sure not injected, and snag one of these . They work great and mine was only $15.00 . We even tried it on a tripple mikuni set up on a stroaker and it worked fine supplied all the fuel that was needed. Gary:classic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanny Posted August 13, 2003 Share #3 Posted August 13, 2003 Run some 12 volt power to the pump directly and see if it works. If it does, then you get to trace the bad connection. Victor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a set screw on the side of the pump. get it loose then twist the cover counterclockwise it shoud pop off. Once that is off there will be a magnet then a gasket then the filter. :cheeky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
