I just did the pressurized to pump conversion(bypass cover mod). It's not pumping fuel for some reason. I plugged the pressure hole with a vacuum nipple cover, so I'm good there. What I did do is I left the settling bowl filter in the system, is this maybe my problem? I made a flat 1/4" aluminum plate and tapped a 1/8" pipe thread in it for a nipple and put it over where the bypass cover went. This thing has 125 psi compression so it has enough vacuum to pull and will suck your finger to the nipple. I'm leaning toward the settling bowl being the problem. I used a new mikuni 14Lph vacuum pump. Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris

Bypass the old filter...don't think you need it. Pump line should go straight to the carb if your Mikuni is working...check the pulse on the pump ports.
