Subaru Robin Fuel Pump Help

[Sail8870]

I have a 6.5 Subaru robin with the original gas tank in use. I would like to use the floor mounted tank under the wheel, but I guess I would need a fuel pump in order to do this. Can anyone lead me in the right direction of a fuel pump that is compatible with my engine?
Thanks

I'd suggest you use this model of Walbro pulse fuel pump:

But buying/installing the pump/filter/lines is the easy part... the tricky part will be installing a pulse fitting in your engine that's needed to operate your pump.

First you should read this info about about installing pulse fittings: http://www.affordablegokarts.com/fuel-pump-setup.php

I drilled a hole in my carbs factory plastic, heat-insulator, and installed a 1/4' barbed-fitting, to slide/clamp a 1/4" hose on, that supplies the pulse-signal to my karts fuel pump:

Mine works fine like this.

I heard this place sells speed parts for Subaru industrial engines like yours:-->http://www.exotictoybuilder.com/index2.html
You might try emailing them and ask if you can buy a fuel pump and lines/filter from them. And then also ask if they sell any other speed parts and then just casually ask what is the best method to install a pulse fitting in your model engine. Cause I dont know anything about Subie's...

Thanks anderkart. Heres a vid of it running if anyones interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zm3LBEqPvZg&feature=channel_video_title
The gas pedal is not hooked up yet, the throttle linkage is a little messed up

And with regards to the fuel pump, I can tap the pulse fitting almost anywhere on the engine and it should work well? I think i am going to drill and tap a hole into the valve cover, because that seems to be one of the easier ways to do it.

Hey looks like you gotta cool place to ride

Yeah, the valve covers's probably a good choice, pull it off and see if there's a good spot that wont cause any problems. If your unsure about anything post some pics/video and we'll try to help.
