I’m partial to the Perry VP-30, but it has to be connected to the case vent, and the vent still needs to go to the atmosphere. Easier to use the VP-20 “Shaker” pump. An alternate is the modification kit supplied by Horizon/Saito, it uses the crank case pressure to pump the fuel. Hobbsy bought one, maybe he’ll chime in and tell how his works. I don’t know the price. The kit includes a larger bore carb, a regulating valve, and a replacement back plate.

Easiest might well be the Iron Bay regulator. Pretty much “Plug-n-play,” about $50 to your door. Or the Cline regulator, a bit more expensive but it’s been around longer than the Iron Bay unit.

As I said, give it a try before you commit to anything else. We might both be surprised.

Just like Bill, I can vouch for the VP-30. I have one on a 24 year old Gemini FT-120 which runs like a sewing machine. That pump is one of my better investments.
