I want to switch from a mechanical fuel pump to an electric fuel pump on my 1275 with an HIF44 carb. I see that there are several brands and options available regarding fuel pressure. What pressure should I be looking for and are there any particular pumps that are recommended? I prefer to not use a regulator if possible.Thanks for your help.

Facet solid state pump, doesn't need to do above 3-4 psi. Does need to be mounted below & near the tank.

I use an ECCO pump on 2 of my Minis. Located in the rear subframe with a hidden switch in the cab to isolate the pump if necessary.

Straight replacement for the SU pump.

Mini Spares sell the Hardi electric fuel pump that is very good and reasonably priced. I use one and have had good luck with it.

Do you need to use a regulator with it?

Nope. I use it with a HIF44 on a 1360 without issue.
