XJ 600 Divvy vacuum fuel pump replacement tip

[tsaude]

Hi,

I have -92 Diversion 600 with vacuum operated fuel pump and have had some problems with it.
So need to replace it, but original one costs some over 100€, and I didn't find any "original" spares for replacing it.
The solution I found was to replace original pump (Taiyogiken)with another vacuum operated one, Mikuni fuel pump model DF44 used in snowmobiles. Price of that was "only" 24€, so much cheaper solution.

Installation was "plug and play", and biggest job was fitting, because original pump's mounting plate was not suitable. So I did new one.

I have now driven some over 1000km without any problems with the pump, so I think this is worth of trying.

Best regards from Finland,

Mika

Any electric fuel pump from a medium to large carburettor engine will also work.
