peter lena 8,637 #1 Posted May 19, 2020 recently installed an electric fuel pump on my c-85- 12 magnum horse. did not like the flimsy areas to mount , creating a noisy pump. used a UNI STRUT BRACKET. for very solid mount on frame next to clutch pedal. pump is just about silent on this solid bracket. rerouted new fuel lines , and hooked up electric power thru a RELAY SWITCH behind dash . did a number of running adjustments , and improvements at all points . works very well , glad i did it . pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,741 #2 Posted May 19, 2020 After all that effort I hope that pump lasts longer than a similar one I had. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,158 #3 Posted May 19, 2020 I like the electric pumps. Put a plate where the old pump mounted. No more oil leaks No pump next to a hot muffler. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FBaggshorses 3 #5 Posted June 25, 2020 Question for Peter Lena concerning electric fuel pump install on my C-120. I've set up Facet pump just as you did basically in the same area using a uni- strut bracket and also ran a pressure regulator with a gage at the same level of the carb. I've got a 4 pin relay wired up however I'm not sure where to pull the power from. Was thinking of tying in to the start/ run wire on the ignition switch. Was just wondering where you typed in?

midpack 866 #6 Posted June 25, 2020 I tapped into the lighting circuit when I did my C-175, it's on in start and run with key. I added a blade fuse too IIRC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can attach the fuel pump wire to the "A" terminal on the ignition switch with a fuse in line to protect the wiring or splice into the wire going to the light switch as @midpack suggested. You don't need a relay, the power consumption is very low. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,637 #8 Posted June 25, 2020 fbaggshorses, used the lighting circuit , with a blade fuse , initially i looked around on this site , for ideas , then made that work for me , pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FBaggshorses 3 #9 Posted June 27, 2020 Hey well thanks alot for the info guys it's greatly appreciated. This is the first time back to the forum in awhile as I've been so busy between going to work and yard work . I ended up tying into the run wire to the ignition and did run a relay , a inline fuse and also ran a fuel regulator with a pressure gage as well and it all work out great! I turn they to the run position, let the pump run a few seconds, turn to start and she fires up with no hesitation whatever. The first time I started it the carb was running erratic , govenor was hunting and pressure gage was reading around 2.5 PSI. Had to turn the pressure regulator down to almost .5 PSI and re-adjust the carb to get her to smooth out. She fires right up and runs great. Was just wondering how you guys can run these pumps without regulating the fuel coming from these pumps? Regardless and again I certainly appreciate everyone's input.
