lwinders Posted October 1, 2012 Share #1 Posted October 1, 2012 Has anyone ever mounted a Mr. Gasket 42S fuel pump on a 1st Gen. If so, where and how did you mount it. My stock fuel pump has gone out and I already have a 42S that I used when I was trying to get my '83 running. I would like to use it if possible but I haven't found a good place to mount it. It's a little too big to fit in the location of the stock pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twigg Posted October 1, 2012 Share #2 Posted October 1, 2012 You could probably mount it to the frame holding the left sidecase. You would need slightly longer fuel lines but it shouldn't be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peder_y2k Posted October 1, 2012 Share #3 Posted October 1, 2012 There is also space under the trunk, where the Royale air compressor is located. -Pete, in Tacoma WA USA '83,88 Venture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be aware that those pumps "push" better than they "pull" The general guideline is to fit them close to the tank, and as low as reasonable. They are designed for cars so the modest distances and heights on a motorcycle should not prove too troublesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lwinders Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share #6 Posted October 1, 2012 reddevilmedic Did you have to cut the mounting feet off of the pump to make it fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddevilmedic Posted October 1, 2012 Share #7 Posted October 1, 2012 just checked. no, no mods. i used one of the tabs to mount to original mounting location. the other tab is unused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
