At what horsepower would you need a fuel pump.
Has any body in larged the fuel vent to help keep
fuel bowls full ? RUNNING RACE GAS 112 OCT.
Or is fuel pump only for methanol ?
Running duall tm45S ,HAVE NEEDLE VALVE 4.5 ,8Y JET TUBE
OUT OF TM48. Runs great with 730, stoked to 770
Will gravity keep bowls full ?
Would like to know before first run.


thanks

Hey Greg....
Gravity feed should work. Just make sure your fuel lines are as direct as they can be (from the tank to the carbs)

I am running the stock tank-stock vent also with no problems...........
