    So I've recently got 2 mc19 project bikes, one I was told didnt run because the fuel pump was cactus. After taking the tank off and filling it with fresh fuel, replacing a broken wire on the cdi and a spray of start ya bastard I had it running. How ever I started looking where the fuel pump was..... but I can't find one, I then looked on my other mc19 and I cant find one on that either. (It also runs).
    I went to trusty old google for the answer but can only find ppl posting about how theirs is broken/not working or what ever but no pics or where its actually located. Can someone please enlighten me where it's meant to be, a pic would be great if anyone has one. Cheers.

    Might be able to get it working again if it's just dirty contact's in the point's, maybe try cleaning up the contact's ?

    I've taken the carbs off for a clean up and there was nothing there or is it under the right hand side fairing somewhere?

    Not sure, but i have heard of some people running their bike's without one, just relying on gravity

    Directly below the fuel tap in above photo with two hoses going to it.
    You can run them with no fuel pump but will not get the last bit from reserve without the pump.

    Mc19 duel pumps are no longer available from Honda , make sure you get the correct pressure pump if you are going to run one , I think they are 4 psi but can’t be 100%

    Also get a filter before the pump. I have been using the cheap ebay pumps with no problem.

    Thanks mate, I didn't think they would much left to suit these models.
    I'm looking at these on ebay but it doesnt have a psi rating anyone have any experience with them?

    Looks like the one I'm using. So far so good. Don't need pressure (or the carbs will flood) just flow.
