Here's the one I use.  No problems and runs quiet.

I went through 3 of the $10 Chinese variety, in 2 years; dead, leaking, etc.  Last time I bought a Holley made here, put it on in October and (fingers crossed) no trouble since.

I made this plate for mounting an impulse pump.  If you go this route, use a Briggs or Kawasaki pump.  I don't trust the cheap ones.

@Bill D Bill we are thinking alike!  This is the plate I made up to block off the old pump location and then mount on the electric pump.  I welded on the bolts to the plate and will use the nuts to secure the pump. 

 

I did go with a cheap pump just to see if I would like it or not.  this is my first electric so we'll see how it goes.  I'll upgrade or go back to the mechanical version if needed.

That's actually the one I ordered Peter!  Glad yours is holding up well! 

 

The new bowl of course fixed the leak.  So everything seems to be in working order now!

@OutdoorEnvy  good for you !  very  quiet , the stronger your mount , like on frame , as opposed to lighter fender tin area , makes noise a non issue . have mine hooked up to start / run , no issues at all . pete
