Fuel Pump Swap on '86 22R
Just wanted to give you guys a heads up on the mechanical fuel pumps on the market. I had rebuilt the top end of the motor a few months back and also rebuilt my carburetor. I kept chasing problems with the carburetor and would up switching between 3 different ones. Finally I built one good one out of all three. Unfortunately I still had problems. I checked the fuel pressure on what was supposed to be a new fuel pump and found it running at 8 psi. That's more than double the pressure it should be. I already had a 2.5-4 psi @ 30 gpm electric fuel pump that I bought for the lawnmower. So far so good.
It looks like it belongs there.

Oh my bad, glanced over that part while my morning coffee was still kicking in! I thought you replaced one electrical with another. I had a 22R but never bothered to get in running on gas, went straight to propane!

A lot of people use an external pressure regulator bc its so hard to find a pump with proper psi. But maybe thats just for electric pumps?
Looks great!

No, that fuel pump does not look like it belongs there.
You shouldn't have a problem with a factory replacement pump. The Aisan carburetors use a little higher fuel pressure than most aftermarket carburetors such as a Weber.

What's a little higher? Where did you get a design from? I don't remember seeing anything for a design on the Aisan's. The only thing I can find is listed on the new mechanical pumps at Rockauto and they state 3.5-4.5 psi @ 20 gph (1,800 rpm).
