EFI KX's Fuel Tank Conversion How-To Question

(1/2) > >>

FL_Sharpshooter:
For those of you that are converting the fuel injected kx's, how are you converting the fuel pump inside the tank to a fuel tap for the kx500's carburetor? Or are you using an older model tank with a fuel tap already on it? Thanks.

Make a 1/4" aluminum plate, drill holes to match the old fuel pump. Use the old Oring from the fuel pump. Drill and tap a barbed fitting or install a petcock off the old tank. If you use a barbed fitting you can use a hose to a CRF250 remote petcock and put it where you want.

I have made some nice billet fuel pump block off plates if you still need one I would post some pics but having trouble posting pics I can email you some pics if needed

Thanks for the offer, but I figured it out. I replicated the oem fuel pump plate and had a barb welded to the plate. My project has been done for some time. Some others may be interested though!
