Dmac you said the pump was hot? I would check there. With it pumpin fuel at a high pressure shouldn't it be cool to the touch? Just a thought.

Derno, what do I need to check for the pump being hot????
Like I said it wouldn't burn you but it was very warm. What would cause it to heat up, do you think that its going bad?
I think I'm going to relocate, to get it away from the heat. I'm trying to tak 1 step at a time.
I've just ordered a new fuel pump so thats one of the upcoming steps.
Their calling for ran for like the next three or four days so I may not have a chance to ride it to do more testing.
Keep the suggestions flowing.
I'm still trying to make some arrangements to make it to the group ride.

If you have a regulator to swap out I would give that a try. I know of a few going bad that caused some goofy symptoms. Also, did you make sure and get the hi-po fuel pump from Summit Racing? I would definitely go that route if I needed a replacement.

This was posted as the part #
QUOTE
the part number is msd-2225 and they said somthing about changing fuel lines to 5/16
Improvement is more PSI than stock and a more regular flow. It is a high performance unit like used in the faast cars.
Not only that but it is cheaper too. Less than 80 bucks.
http://store.summitracing.com/default.asp?...sd-2225&x=0&y=0I think it will be good enough for our application:

Made in the U.S.A., the pump is ideal as a "booster" for nitrous oxide applications, or as a stand alone-pump for multiport EFI systems on engines up to approximately 500 HP.

So is anyone using these now, and will all the current connection work , mainly does it need any special wiring.
Thomez thanks for the help.:clap:

I know Swamp'Dale is using one and I am sure some others are just not sure exactly who.
I believe that you have to change the one fuel line but other than that I do not know of any changes necessary. I have no doubt that this unit is better than the stocker though.

I'm running it, wires right up but you must change to 5/16 fuel injection hose.

Jeff
When you say fuel injection hose, is this just reqular black fuel line hose or a special hose for fuel injection.
Jeff where did you mount yours ( Fuel Pump)?
