What did you do to make the system a gravity feed? Remove the regulator spring? Drill? I thought of using a simple inline pressure regulator and leave the pump alone. For the gallery: This is a highly modified 1250 and yes I know how to use Megalog viewer and ECMSpy. I'm still going to use the HSR42 for racing. Thanks for the help in advance. |

I did my conversion on an 00 S3 and was lucky enough to get a carbed tank of the same color. Sorry I can't be of any help. |

I don't have the 1250 but I did put a Mikuni on my S3. I pulled the fuel pump out and took the pump portion out the placed the pump mechanism back in. Hooked it back up so I could maintain my fuel level light. The gravity feed has no problem with the Mikuni. Also I put an inline cut out in the fuel line. No problem and works great. |

I removed the fuel pump and installed a petcock,using the same hole. Works fine. |

Thanks guys. Pulled the pump assembly and removed pump. Simple enough. Also, I spoke with Chad at Sudco and he stated I could use a 2.3 needle and seat, run a regulator inline and set it at 2.0 and it should work fine if I wanted to retain the pump. |

Glad you got it going. You'll lose some fuel access from the position of the fuel exit port. I drilled holes for an M2 petcock at the low point of my S3 tank near the battery. I tried the regulator thing but my antique SU carb leaked from the overflow tube. |
