    Seriously the the 4age fuel pump would not work.
    The cbr fuel pump is just a lift pump with no real pressure.
    The 4age fuel pump is high pressure for efi and has enough pressure to push the needles out of the way in your carbs and simply flood the engine.
    I am curious to know whether it would move enough fuel to hydro lock the engine though so if you do try it please come back with the results

    just done read up , and guys have replaced them with car fuel pumps and work %100 fine on ther CBR250R MC19's, goto repco aparently "Fuel Flo universal electric pump will work,

    should cost you 130-160 bucks.

    along with small suzuki and mazda ones will work too, try not use anything for 1600cc or above,

    I've got a nice Garrett, it's mounted on the car though, although the turbo off a Honda City would be cool...

    I took my bike to a mechanic and he said I need a new fuel pump. I took my fuel pump to Supercheap and Repco and they have never seen anything like it. I went to Japrace and 6 automotive dismantlers and none of them have anything like it. The only place that I could find that could get hold of a fuel pump for me is Honda, and they want over $300 for it. I'd rather stick to my push bike than pay over $300 for a fuel pump.

    No places I've been to have a fuel pump that is similar to the one I have. They're all too big and the inlets and outlets are on different sides of the pumps that I could find.

    a lot of guys use facet pumps for africa twins etc...perhaps they are the same.There must be a forum for those bikes,see what they use.I am sure you aren the only one to have this issue and is releuctant to part with that sorta dosh.

    Ok, you want a self priming, lower pressure, fuel pump, that stops pumping when it sees too much pressure build up on the delivery side. An FZR400 had one IIRC, and if you can't find one of those, then go try a Kart storre.

    Before you do that, try giving the existing pump 12 volts yourself, make sure it's actually non functional, don't trust somebody elses opinion. It's more likely that the bike has an electrical fault that will be fairly simple to fix.

    Karts normally run pulse pumps, we ran a FZR pump ( not sure if it was a 400) for the reasons you've listed

    Ghey... that was my best guess for who in Christchurch would have a low volume pump (only needs to support 45hp yeah?) with those properties

    I ran a car on an FZR400 pump once

    I ran a 70+hp TZ250 off one of the pulse pumps and even then I needed a fuel regulator to drop the pressure

    Problem solved. I bought a fuel pump for an old Mini and it works fine.
