Ok here is ma situation think it will work but not sure went hunt yesterday and got out there ran through some shtick stuff. Ok I have cdi motor with the fuel pump on the side the motor and a mikuni carb we'll the barb coming from the fuel line broke going in to the fuel pump and my hose was not long enoughy to reach the carb direct so I used a butt connector to connect the two fuel lines to get back to the landing so here is my question a while back my manifold broke and my buddy gave me one off a old motor. We'll that fuel pump on the motor has that extra hose going to the manifold but it's not connected cause the old manifold does not have that but I have a electrical fuel pump. Can I just run the fuel line direct to the carb or do i need that fuel pump On top the motor also |

![]() It will run fine with the electric pump, but imo I would just replace the stock vacuum pump. I have no faith in the electric ones especially for a primary. Use the electric for a primer and back up. |

Even though it does not have the line going to the manifold the stock vacuum will still work |

Y'all wouldn't happen to know what thread it is I'm. Sure it's a npt thread that way it tighten up as you screw it in but will the size of the ID of the fitting matter |

Yea I was thinking 1/8 cause we do a lot of 1/4 npt and that would be way to big cause a 1/4 npt is a 7/16 drill bit |
