Re: refresh my memory

If its got a carb, it doesn't matter far as I know. I would mount it in front of the tank on the frame somewhere.

Re: refresh my memory

An electric fuel pump needs to be as close as possible to the tank, and low enough so that it can easily draw the fuel from the tank. Depending on the design of the tank, gravity feed if possible. Electric fuel pumps are designed to push the fuel rather than suck the fuel very far.
