piston lift pump

I am running a stock lift pump and plan on upgrading soon.Will a piston lift pump push enough fuel for my current setup with no further mods?

many thanks again

my oem LP was pretty lame so I added an electric one along the frame rail with no adverse effects. Not sure what "are u N/I?" means 2stroke, ...do I need to know? ...lol

The piston pump should be able to keep you up around 8 psi. If you really aren't adding more fuel you will be fine with the piston pump.

The piston pump rocks. Just got mine on today. Holds over double the psi at WOT - 7 now, vs. 3 with the stock pump. Highly recommended!

I agree with Ace. The piston lift pump is something Wannadiesel tried to get me to do a while back. I should have done it then. If you are running a fuel gauge you will need some way to control the pulses or the gauge will not last long. I use a petcock at the banjo bolt on the filter out let and throttle it down to a tolerable level.
