ocsike74 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Hi, everybody, Can somebody tell me something about the fuel pump on a '86 carbureted GL 1800,4WD Sooby. My car is with fuel pump down. Please give me some part code or a similar car type or maybe a symilar puel punp type. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarian Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I have a universal-type inline electric fuel pump on mine. You just need to make sure the fuel pump is for a carbureted vehicle, as fuel injected pumps put out much higher pressure and will make your carburetor flood.

ocsike74 Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 Can you tell me something about codes or maybe a model of a car where can be found a similary pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarian Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 It's just a universal pump. It will fit any car that's carbureted and has an inline electric fuel pump or that's converted to use an electric pump. Here's a link to the part on partsamerica.com: http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductDetail.aspx?mfrcode=MST&mfrpartnumber=E8016S&parttype=52&ptset=A If you follow the link, there's a link on the part detail that lists all the cars the pump fits.

BoostedBalls Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 The Holley RED or BLUE pump is an affordable upgrade. The RED ones can be found on ebay for cheap. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HOLLEY-CPH-110-RACING-FUEL-PUMP-DRAG-RACE-PRO-STREET_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33555QQitemZ8027303395QQrdZ1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocsike74 Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 Subarian, this pump has the same caracteristics like the original one? ( debth, delivery pressure) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarian Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Mine fit in the stock location with very little work. I had to change the bracket a little bit and one of the fuel lines, and also the electrical connector. Fuel delivery is comparable to the stock pump. Also replace the fuel filter at the same time.

Syonyk Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I have a universal-type inline electric fuel pump on mine. You just need to make sure the fuel pump is for a carbureted vehicle, as fuel injected pumps put out much higher pressure and will make your carburetor flood. Conversely, a pump for a carb'd vehicle will start, but not run, a fuel injected wagon. Experience speaking there. :-/ -=Russ=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballitch Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 remember, you can mount the new one in the engine bay instead of under the car, just remove the old pump and add a section of hose to replace the space where the old pump use to be, then plumb in the new pump and run power to it via a toggle switch for added security or run it off the existing wiring. like everyone else said, dont get a fuel injection pump. ~Josh~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocsike74 Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 The bigest problem is that here in Europe, it,s dificult to find parts for American machines. Today bought a fuel pump for an injection car but the deyt and pressure of the fuel is too high. Can someone tell me a machine model ( an europen one) where ti fit a pump like mine? Or maybe has anyone a bosch code of an equivalent pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarian Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Autozone lists Bosch part number 69405. In one of my earlier posts, I included a link to a bunch of cars that use comparable inline pumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Jetset Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Hi, What's the problem? The fuel pumps on these are pretty rugged, but do need a good power supply to run. Check the electric feed and ground to the unit - if the pump's at fault replacing it should work, if not it could be poor quality fuel, or crud in the fuel tank. Is there an in line filter to renew? Presume you've eliminated everything else such as ignition system and carb problems. I had a brat with running problems - turned out that the fuel pump wasn't getting enough electrical power from corroded terminal to it!

thealleyboy Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I've used a universal carberated fuel pump from this company with excellent results: www.mrgasket.com You may be able to get one thru mail order. They are about 1/3 the price of an OEM pump. You could relocate the pump in the engine bay as mentioned above, but I would reccommend leaving the pump underneath, and moving only the filter to the engine bay (some models have the filter located next to the pump). Besides the wiring issue, the pump would probably have to work harder {and wear out faster} if it were further upstream in the fuel system. Maybe it was just my imagination, but but fuel flow seemed stronger and smoother with the seperation between the pump and fuel filter. good luck, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the fuel pump control unit goes out, your fuel pump will not run. If it really is the fuel pump and your having difficulty finding a compatable replacement, why not try a Junk Yard or Auto recycling place? Just a thought?

Subarian Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 On carbureted Subarus, it's really easy to bypass the fuel pump control circuit. All you do is run a wire from the + terminal on your coil to the + wire of the pump. The other wire goes to ground. The pump runs whenever the ignition is on, but since it's a recirculating system, that's not a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocsike74 Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 Hi everybody! The problem was that the pump inside has a Plunger wich sends the fuel to the carburetor. But this plunger weared the cylinder where it's working so the blocking of the plunger was inevitable. The fault wasn't electrical because with a control lamp first of all I controlled the power taping and it was OK. Then I found the pump of an EJ10 what fittes perfectly and ready to go. Than you for your kind help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
