fuel pump

[coverall 1]

I have a Subaru engine with Formula Power conversion. I think the fuel pump is not working because the engine will not idle and the fuel lines have air in them. If I replace the fuel pump, what kind should I use to replace it. The one in there now is no longer available.

Depends on what Carb you have. Maybe you have a suction leak in lines or pump? Maybe you can rebuild your pump?

Mine has a Holly 5200 - most Holly and Carter carbs take 2 to 6 pounds of fuel pressure. I dont know about the Jap carbs.

My builder told me not to use Facet, but others do. Automotive Accessories makes a pump, but do not know model.

Some, like Airdale, on the Stratus with Jap dual carbs, used a 1970s or 80s Ford pickup 6 cyl fuel pump.

Maybe something similiar, if you have a Jap or American carb?

I havent bought mine yet. Randy "Suberavid" has two of some kind on his Stratus - trying to find out what kind.

SuberAvid Randy, just wrote in another post that both of his are a Facet - He has the Stratus with dual bing carbs. About 4 pounds of pressure.

One important thing he said was that they had check-valves in them to let the fuel flow from the tank if the pump is not working and not backwards from the engine or other pump.
