Re: 6 v0lt ele. fuel pump

Many have used the Airtex E8011 pump mounted near the tank and controlled by a fused circuit with a separate on/off switch. It is a 6v pump which has individual power wires so can be wired to work with positive or negative ground. Being a solenoid type pump the mechanical pump will be able to pull fuel thru while the electric pump is off. It should be available at most parts stores and also on Amazon.
If the electric pump is to be used alone and the mechanical pump will be eliminated or bypassed, the 5-8psi pressure of the E8011 may be too high. While the 5-8 psi will drop considerably by the time it reaches the carb because of going thru the line and fuel pump and any filter, used alone it could overwhelm the carb. The E8902 would be a better choice in that application as its 2.5-4.5 psi more closely matches the output pressure of the mechanical pump. All the other specs of the 8902 are the same as the 8011.
Here are the specs on the E8011.
