So I have built my self an "engine test stand" out of parts I had laying around the house. First engine to be my "guinea pig" was my oppy. Since that has a fuel pump built onto it I don't have to worry about the "remote" fuel tank sitting about a foot lower than the carb. I need to test a 17.5 OHV single I have but that does not have a fuel pump. Is there an electric fuel pump I can use? I know I will have to use a regulator to keep it around 3 psi or so. Any ideas?

I would take a spare tiny tank and have a hanger thing for it, cheap fix!

soda bottle cut in half, get some fuel line, drill a hole in the cap of the bottle just smaller than the threads of a brass nipple. thread it into the cap, hang it upside down, add an in line fuel shutoff and VIOLA. makeshift tank
