I had my mini rolling road tuned, and they recommended I get an electronic fuel pump, which ones would you recommend for a 1275cc with twin carbs?
Many thanks

It's 1 1/4" twin carbs, and the technician said the fuel was drying up, as the fuel lines getting hot in engine bay, so effecting performance so would recommend a electric fuel pump.
Reading through some old posts, looks like I would of been best to keep my single hiff44 carb, as looks as if the twins are not really helping performance?!
Its a standard 1275cc metro engine, what sort of mods should I consider to get the best out the engine? As I had a 1275cc cooper before this and that went a lot better than this!
Thanks

I would look at a boot mounted Facet pump matched to the fuel flow requirements you have. They are only around £30-£40.

Do note they require a filter before the pump and usually a filter under the bonnet before the final braided line to the carb(s).

Also get very noisy when getting low on fuel, more accurate then the fuel gauge

Unless you really like twins, I would go for a single (easier to setup for starters). HIF44 or even a HS4 (which I run on my 1275).
