Do NOT use the existing EFI pump. You can either use an electric low pressure pump designed for a carb (like the Holley red or blue pumps) or go with a mechanical fuel pump. In either case you must replace the fuel pickup on top of the gas tank with a purpose built pickup that does not include an in-tank pump. To use a mechanical fuel pump you must change the front timing cover on the engine to one that accepts a bolt-on fuel pump. You may also need a fuel pump eccentric to drive the pump. My '88 motor had one from the factory but I have heard of some roller motors that do not have them.".... <a href="http://www.jason.fletcher.net/tech/efi-carb/efi-carb.htm" target="_blank">efi to carb conversion</a> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
