I didn't think about this just now, but that's an FI case. Time to search for a 6V electric fuel pump! :?

Looks like there's a bunch of them out there. Hopefully they're available at local auto parts stores for warranty purposes. I believe NAPA has them.

This is the one broken piston. If all else fails, can this be run if the edges are cleaned up?

If you could could them to all weigh the same, then I don't think there would be a problem.

That Break could be on the lightest one causing it to be even lighter.. meaning you would
have to really take some material off of the heaviest one..

If anything I would try to pickup that set on thesamba .. if just the pistons he said 50 OBO..
ask if he'll do 50 shipped..

I contacted the guy, and he said they may be sold. Still waiting for a response from him.

you can not run that piston like that you will have to find another piston...dont half ass it you will regret it in the end...pistons are weighted...so much so that they are weighted front to back...i dont know if the break is on the front or the back but either way that would make noise...
