Well I should be getting my fuel pump for my 85 GS this weekend! Pretty excited as I haven't started or driven her since I brought her home. I just hope the carb doesn't need to be tuned as I have no idea how to tune a carb lol. If it does maybe you guys can help out?

good luck Mike, let's hope it fires up straight away. Are you still running the standard Nikki 4 barrel carb? They are actually pretty reliable and usually only cause problems if someones messed about with them previously..... usually people who don't know enough about them.... a little knowledge is a dangerous thing!

Thanks and yeah it's the Nikki. But idk if I can get the pump now as my check was not what I thought I would make
. But if I cab find one cheaper than $150 I should be able to get it.

yeah Mike, if you're running the 12A engine with the Nikki carb it'll drop straight on. There were only the 2 variant s of fb engine, the carb'd 12A and the fuel injected 13B fitted to the GSL-SE only.
Ebay sellers often get their dates wrong. As long as your car has the 12A with the standard Nikki carb, this pump will work for you.

What do you think of this one? I found it at Pepboys for $71.00, it says it's a universal and will fit on my car?
