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).

Cheers

Ian
