Thanks! I almost bought that cheap pump on eBay. You changed my mind.

Well this is a pretty late comment since this video was uploaded two years ago but I just ran into an interesting issue on my acty. I had a similar issue with my dizzy where I ended up buying a Chinese fuel pump for it and I ran it for a while even after installing the dizzy however recently developed a new issue. Mine seems to be shorting a fuse on the fuel pump there's a good chance it was caused by the Chinese fuel pump however just to be safe I installed the original fuel pump back in and that did not solve the issue sadly..... There is a very good chance however the Chinese fuel pump was okay and the fuse is the main culprit.... Any ideas of common symptoms of a fuel pump fuse on these cars?

My Hijet fuel pump just crapped out. Symptom - the truck would intermittently die, presumably from fuel exhaustion. Wait a few minutes and it'd start and run again. I noticed that it only happens when the fuel tank is less than half full. Sure enough, that's the level of the fuel pump so it's apparently gravity feeding through the fuel pump when the tank is full. I checked after driving it today (full tank so it ran well) and the fuel pump was hot to the touch so it's apparently stuck in the open position that allows fuel to flow through it. The stalled motor is overheating the fuel pump and that may be vaporizing the fuel and causing a vapor lock. I was going to replace it with a genuine Daihatsu part but my mini truck has an electric fuel pump near the fuel tank and the $111 fuel pump I found online is apparently a mechanical fuel pump. I ordered a $12 universal fuel pump on Amazon. If it doesn't last, I'll source the Daihatsu fuel pump.

I may be in same situation. I’m having issues accelerating. Changed out fuel filter with no luck. Going to swap pump and see what happens

@@petescarport - It'd be great to check the fuel pressure before replacing the fuel pump. I thought about that but didn't do it. I'm an engineer and we like data. 🙂 If the fuel pump doesn't help, then maybe overhaul the carburetor? My Hijet doesn't accelerate well, but it's doing as well as I can expect for a 0.66 liter engine. 😀

The Mitsubishi is the one. I bought a Honda OEM pump and put it on last night. It was the Mitsubishi.

Thanks for the update. I had a feeling since the Mitsubishi one is still going strong for me

@@petescarport they last forever if you keep your fuel level over 1/2 and change the filter every 2000kms at least. Good luck!
