Does anyone pump in series (or through) their Mikuni fuel pump?
I ask as I had a wire break off my regulator and eventually lost all power to gauges,
EIS and GPS before getting back to home field. It would have been a much
shorter flight with only the Facet pump.

There are many schools of thought. "Mine" is that my Facet pumps fuel
to the Mikuni pump, and from there to the engine. I have done so since
1997 with no problems using engines from 447-503-582 to HKS. I try to
keep it as simple as I can. Others may feel differently. Your choice.

The Mikuni is perfectly happy to have the Facet feed it, and just as happy when
you turn the Facet off, because a properly functioning Mikuni will pull the fuel
through a properly functioning Facet.

Thanks, sounds like a good addition. I looked a t a couple specs on facets (maybe
not the one earlier mentioned) browsing around. I saw lift specs as low as
12 inches. Where do you mount the pump? Just right outside the tank rails tank
level?

I just figured out that is probably a bad question as I have a Firefly with the
small 5 gallon tank and is likely completely different than the larger Kolbs.

I mounted mine on the boom tube in front of the tanks. Just be sure
that you get the facett pump that the recent discussion was about.
2-3 lbs or something like that.

Thanks for asking the same question that I had about still using the pulse p
ump along with the facet electric pump. I like redundancy when it comes to a
ircraft fuel systems. And thanks all the good information that was generated
.
I ordered a new rectifier/ regulator, 24V 22000uf capacitor and a 40104 fue
l pump last week and am waiting for everything to come. I'm going to run som
e lift tests before mounting the new pump simply because I would like to mou
nt the facet pump above my fuel tank if it lifts sufficiently? Time will tel
l?
Oh yeah guys I flew my restored Firestar (original) yesterday! It was its fi
rst flight in 28 years and it was sweet.
