Just make sure you get one with sufficient fuel flow capacity.
You would think that would be a problem. I certainly would. I picked up the cheapest electric pump I could find, initially thinking it would be a temporary testing type thing until I could find a high capacity pump. But... I put the pump in the front of the chassis, up by the seats, the tanks are in back. The pump had to pull thru the selector valve, all that plumbing, suck from the tanks and push up to the carb thru dual filters.
I went out looking for the biggest, longest hill I could find here in North Dakota (not known for it's hills ya know eh!! :) ), and basically tried to empty out the float bowl going up the hill, full throttle, low speed, etc...really beating on the engine trying to suck as much gas as I could. I didn't lose power.
Maybe I got a pump on the high end of the tolerance, maybe you had a restriction somewhere or had a seriously cheap pump. Who knows. Good thoughts to think about at any rate...
