I have included pics of the electric fuel pump I installed to overcome the evaporation of fuel from the carbs.
The screw that is shown is the clamp screw that came with the pump. It is for the clamp. I just made it do double duty. You can't see the pump because it is behind the piece of sheetmetal that I wrapped around the frame. I mounted the pressure reg at the top of the rear kickup because of the room available. I used a short fitting at the tank with a bubble on the end to allow a rubber hose and clamp to replace the fuel line to the pump and another hose to mate to a short metal fuel line that runs up to the pressure regulator. From there it is all metal line. The pump sits nicely inside the frame just about even with the front of the tank.
