Been watching you'r content for a while now and learning more about my Gen 1 150cc Maddog , Last night I removed the Makuni vacuum pump , Rolling Wrench is way to pricey on all his stuff and i wont order from them. but thanks to you my Maddog is running better than ever. thank you so much and keep up the great work i really apricate it .
That's a great video. A four-cylinder motorcycle pure fuel pump costs $250 and I'm going to install an electric fuel pump. Great information, detailed explanation, very much appreciated.
I love the idea of a hidden switch also. Someone steals the bike they get down the road as far as the carburetor bowl full will take them. Too funny when it stops running and the owner is beating someone's ass!
It would be nice to find a pressure switch that could be adjusted to the pressure you want. That way the pumps doesnt have to run all the time. Get up to pressure and shut off. I'm guessing air in the bowl could be an issue.
Petrol electric pumps all perish think the one's that last longer are with seals made of Neoprene that's why they like using vacuum pumps I would fit a one way valve would work better leaving carburettor full then when bike running plenty time for vacuum what do you think 🤔
Ya I never even thought of the valve until it was too late. LOL. I still have 1 bike on vacuum and have no issues with it. I had to put electric on the nitrous one as it is a wet system and needs to spray fuel. But reliability... so far so good. I have hundreds of thousands of miles on my car electric pump but it don't cost $20. LOL
I just threw a 1-way valve on mine and never had this issue since. But great info. RW is a rip off. He claims his stuff is better but he just gets stuff off Amazon and slaps his sticker on it.
I have been pretty happy with everything I have got from rolling wrench. I use NCY Store, RW and other places. Who ever is cheapest after shipping. LOL. I know the 1 way valve is a good fix, but they run so much better with that pump. These things really should be gravity fed.
Wanted to pass on some info on the pump. The ideal situation would be to have a return system that send back excess fuel to the tank. This would be hard to do without performing major surgery or adding a lot of extra pieces. When the float bowl is full your pump is dead heading against the float needle. On pumps this can be bad cause it will make seals fail and add extra heat. I assume the pump you have is a canned motor pump, which means no traditional seal. Only issue you may have is a little excess heat and possible premature failure of the pump. However, with as cheap as they are that’s not a big deal. In the end no comment to change just wanted to pass this info along. Hope you don’t mind the long winded explanation.
Thanks and I agree 100%. So I would like to make a vacuum pump with it going to a small supply tank and the supply tank would gravity feed the carb. This would solve the issues of vacuum system and be cheap and east. And if you have dead battery you can still get home.
Do you not care for the slide type of carburetor? I see that one has a diaphragm type. I'm sure you know far more than I do so I figured I would ask. Are the slide type not good? I always thought they werre the best option.
No I love my slide type carb. The red bike is not mine. A 28mm flat slide is his next MOD though. I did a video on the 28mm and it made my black bike way better
Should be no need for it. Gravity is way faster than electric. But the answer is yes. The pump has no clue where the fuel is coming from. It would still work fine.
Have you had any issues with the electric fuel pump since installing it on the bike? Someone said that it might pump too much fuel into the carb while riding the bike. I just bought the 17303 Edelbrock fuel pump and plan installing it on my maddog scooter
Awesome. Not a single glitch. Except I stole his pump for the 50 to make a video cause I didn't have one. Put a vacuum pump on his. Stupid thing would not start 2 says ago. Finally got it started and went riding then got stuck cause his starter was burned up. That electric pump saves starters. It seems like every time I have brought one of these back in a truck it was because that damn vacuum pump.
@nicolewolcott my buddy had the 800. Can't remember if that tank was fake or real and gas was under the seat. Did the bike come with a fuel pump stock?
I think it is 5/16" I use those fuel filters that take multiple size hoses in a step down fashion as adapters to go from different size hoses. There is no standard on these maddog hoses and when they get hot and harden over time they start leaking at the areas where the hose is too big for the barb.
I think the fuel tank takes the bigger hose than the carb. The fuel pump takes even a bigger hose. I use armorall or soap and force the smaller hose on those.
@headwaystudio the keihin had those tube's coming out the too for overflow and those are to holes in top of the float bowl. The pump should push fuel in the bowl and the air should go out those tubes. So it shoukd work. My lines never look full of gas and always appear empty.

Great to hear and thanks so much.
Soon as I heard it was being tested in a Floridian meth lab, I subscribed 👍
LMAO

Ya these Chinese pumps are still going strong. I would trust one on my car no problem.
@@GhettoWrench I live in Korea. Thank you so much for your good intentions.
Great idea I like it❤
Nice!
Hey brother AWESOME video
I love the idea of a hidden switch also. Someone steals the bike they get down the road as far as the carburetor bowl full will take them. Too funny when it stops running and the owner is beating someone's ass!
Sounds like a ghetto wrench sting operation
Run a one way check valve and two pumps inline and that helps with fuel to carb
Why two pumps?
Only 1 pump. Electric.
It would be nice to find a pressure switch that could be adjusted to the pressure you want. That way the pumps doesnt have to run all the time. Get up to pressure and shut off. I'm guessing air in the bowl could be an issue.
Ya this is weird. first thing I done with no return line
Petrol electric pumps all perish
think the one's that last longer are with seals made of Neoprene
that's why they like using vacuum pumps I would fit a
one way valve would work better
leaving carburettor full then when bike running plenty time for vacuum what do you think 🤔

Oh I’m going to install it on a predator 212 in my sons go kart.

So just put the electric fuel pump above the carburetor and it should be fine without any issues correct?
@@ManuelGutierrez-be1ci should be
Could u reply back
Link me to the fuel pump. Not rolling wrench

Oh, and it says oil but believe it’s a bad translation for fuel.
@wesmadebuilds681 I am seeing that fuel is referred to as oil more and more in "asian" culture. Weird
Good vid; Can I assume that has been working fine for the 5 months since it was installed, eg no flooding, overflowing, etc issues?
No issues at all. Everyone runs them. All those quirks and issues seem to go away. Makes the bike way more reliable
@@GhettoWrench Great to hear :) :)

One that supplies clean water for windows
I think fuel may eat up the pump
Subscribed. I love shit like this :)) I’m getting a 12v pump as well. I’m glad I didn’t get the pulse one, cuz they are shit and cost about the same.
Wouldn't a decent jet wash car pump give the carburetor enough fuel???
Prob too much fuel and not sure they would withstand solvents and fuel. These pumps are super slow.
Mine starts really with no problem. Its nee but
Is it ok to add a fuel pump if the gas tank is above the carb?
Should be no need for it. Gravity is way faster than electric. But the answer is yes. The pump has no clue where the fuel is coming from. It would still work fine.
Have you had any issues with the electric fuel pump since installing it on the bike? Someone said that it might pump too much fuel into the carb while riding the bike. I just bought the 17303 Edelbrock fuel pump and plan installing it on my maddog scooter
I have 600 miles on the rolling wrench one and about 300 miles on the one in the video with no issues
@@GhettoWrenchmonth later, is the ghetto rig still working?
@geraldlinnearii3357 both the rolling wrench pump and the two Ghetto pumps are still going strong. No issues.
@@GhettoWrench well I'm going to try this ghetto joint first before I drop over $100 on the rolling wrench.
Would this be a good fit for the 50cc model? Or do you think it would be to much for it?
That's why I did it. LOL. For my buddy that has a 50. He got the edelbroc pump but looks the same
So it's fine for the 50cc because mine is a 50cc as well and someone tried to say it wasn't going to work because it says 30gph on the package.
@ManuelGutierrez-be1ci ya I don't remember the gph rating. Just know it was like 2 or 3 psi. Lowest psi one they sold
I have a 50cc QY6 engine. Can I just clean the vacuum line.
Not sure what you mean. If you have a vacuum fuel pump you need those vacuum lines
Its been 8 months now, hows it holding up?
Awesome. Not a single glitch. Except I stole his pump for the 50 to make a video cause I didn't have one. Put a vacuum pump on his. Stupid thing would not start 2 says ago. Finally got it started and went riding then got stuck cause his starter was burned up. That electric pump saves starters. It seems like every time I have brought one of these back in a truck it was because that damn vacuum pump.
Do you think this would work for my old Intruder 750?
It should.... are you removing your tank? Nothing beats gravity.
@@GhettoWrench I cant gravity feed, seems like the upper carb doesnt get fuel when I try that =(
@nicolewolcott my buddy had the 800. Can't remember if that tank was fake or real and gas was under the seat. Did the bike come with a fuel pump stock?
You got the fuel filter backwards
I sure did. LOL. Good eye
What size is that red hose?
If its 5/16, did you have to alter the fuel tank port?
I think it is 5/16" I use those fuel filters that take multiple size hoses in a step down fashion as adapters to go from different size hoses. There is no standard on these maddog hoses and when they get hot and harden over time they start leaking at the areas where the hose is too big for the barb.
I think the fuel tank takes the bigger hose than the carb. The fuel pump takes even a bigger hose. I use armorall or soap and force the smaller hose on those.
@@GhettoWrench So I'm all hooked up but I can't get these air bubbles out of my line. My keihin doesnt have a drain screw like the stock cvk did
@headwaystudio the keihin had those tube's coming out the too for overflow and those are to holes in top of the float bowl. The pump should push fuel in the bowl and the air should go out those tubes. So it shoukd work. My lines never look full of gas and always appear empty.
Filter should be before the pump will keep trash out the pump
Ya you caught that. LOL. I put one before and after in case the pump comes apart.
