DF52-73

I trying to install one of these in my 80 liquifire. Anybody provide any knowledge on hooking one up. I have vacuum going to port on top. 4 oclock barb left carb (pto) and 7 oclock to right carb (mag side) fuel going into 10 oclock barb. Is there a trick maybe to priming a liquifire carb system? I don't have the air box on and the carb are clean. This must be a mod somebody has done right ?

Normally there are arrows on the other side showing fuel direction. Like I500 said, you have fuel to the pump?

I'll try filling the tank fuller. Im at about a 1/4-1/3 full. I'll see what happens. Other than that, you think the thing is hooked up right? I did not see any arrows that gave any clues. BTW it is a Mikuni.

Should be like this:

The line from the tank connects to the barb without a hose. The 2 that point up go to the carbs. If adding more fuel doesn't work; do you have a vacuum leak (bad impulse hose, crank seals, ect.)?

Try switching the impulse and tank lines around.
In the photo on the parts page link you suppiled the pump is shown upside down.
