--> RV4-List message posted by: "Bill Repucci" <bill@repucci.com>

I purchased the above mentioned engine for my RV-9.  It appears to be in
great shape and has low time, I'll find out more when I start
disassembling it.

The only gottcha is that it doesn't have a fuel pump, which prompted the
following questions:

1) What O-290 accessory cases accept the fuel pump and where should I
look for such a thing?

2) Can I substitute an accessory case from an O-235 or O-320?  If so,
which ones?

3) Are any of you flying with an Aero Carb from Sonex
(http://www.aeroconversions.com/carb_index.html)?  If so, could you give
me some feedback?

If all else fails, I'm thinking I could install two electric fuel pumps,
with check valves, one pump fused directly to the battery, etc. but I
would prefer to have an engine driven pump.

Thanks for the help!
