Evening all
Is it just as simple as wiring the fuel pump to a battery ? Then let it run a bit ?

I don't think I'd run it 'dry',[1] but essentially, yes.
[1] Well, for any more than a second or two.

Went out and gave it a shot , took a few attempts of connection before it finally kicked into life . I ran redex through it so it wasn't dry at any point. Wire fell out and couldn't get it to turn again so assuming the pumps points are pooped.

Other than fitment / mounting are there any other pumps that would provide the correct pressure and flow ?

Other than fitment / mounting are there any other pumps that would provide the correct pressure and flow ? A "universal" electric fuel pump, the best 'budget' option. You can fit virtually any type but if the pressure is too high you will need to fit a pressure regulator to avoid problems with carburetor float valves (about 2 - 4 psi is what you want). Most cheap Ebay universal ones are too high pressure, so will need a regulator. Facet do two suitable low pressure pumps, a "Posi-Flow" (model 60104) rated at 1.5 to 4.0 psi and a solid state "Cube" (model SS500) rated at 1.5 to 2.5 psi, both of which should be fine without a regulator. Either pump will supply plenty of fuel. Wire the new pump via a relay from the ignition "on" live supply using an inline 3A fuse. You will need to make up a mounting bracket. Total cost for either option, including 6mm unions, relay and wiring should be about £40 to £50. Facet also make anti-vibration mounts for about £6 which is probably a good idea. The main cause of electric fuel pump failure is dirt in the fuel so make sure the fuel filter is OK and ideally fit a new one. |

I have messaged a eBay seller about the psi rating on a pump that's a direct replacement for a Razer/thundercat/r6 pump as it's only 30 pounds delivered. Do you have a link to the pumps you mentioned ? Could they not run off the standard relay through the original wiring ?

Would it not be cheaper & easier to fit a bladder such as a condom over the filler & connect it to a balloon on your seat via a one way valve & so pressurise the tank with the bouncing up & down you get with a D600, No electricery involved.

Perfect thanks for your advice, posi flow with 6mm unions it is |

hmmmmm interesting , it this tried and tested a 900 pump on a 600 ? Seems a very straightforward replacement if it has |

The both have CV carbs with float operated fuel level valves and fuel consumption that's not hugely different so there is no reason why a 900 fuel pump would not work on a 600.
Its unlikely that a 600 pump has been used on a 900 because 600 pumps are generally the ones which pack up.
