Engine sealed and Perry Pump installed (Futaba Safari-Buggy)

Once the engine backplate and carburetor is air sealed, I installed the Perry Pump (also call Oscillating Pump):

VP-20 Oscillating pump
The VP-20 pump for your 4-cycle engine is used by thousands of modelers throughout the world because it is trouble free and provides the most reliable fuel delivery to your 4-cycle engine.

This pump mounts to the front or back of the crankcase, on a mounting plate supplied with the VP-20 and 22SG pumps.

The pumps are actuated by engine vibration. May also be used for 2-cycle engines. Not recommended for opposed multi-cylinder engines.

Installed Perry Pump on engine backplate
