Fuel Pump Issues and Differences | Carter Vs. Airtex | Mazda B2000 B2200

In this video I describe the issues with the mechanical fuel pump difference in the airtex 1376 and the Carter brand that seems to show up in the box for some that order it from Rock Auto.
It is best to order one direct from a Mazda dealership or online using this part number FE85-13-350A
This may or may not come with a SPACER and one is absolutely needed. Be sure and clean up and use your old one and purchase a new one online at RockAuto if your new pump does not come with one.
Any products used in the video probably came from Amazon.

Thank you so much! You just made me look like a genius (Google queen, yes) and saved us some time figuring it out. Not sure what's next as it's a customer's rig.

[@alexinvena5754]

Thank you for doing this Sir, I have 1989 Mazda B2200 manual transmission not running at the moment, my relative, my l uncle and he doesn’t want to get rid of it because he got this brand new 1989, after he replaced ignition coil and spark plug now it won’t start, I’m trying to help him at his really old 80yrs old and we can’t trouble shoot why it doesn’t starting, the starter is good and I verified has power on ignition coil and not so sure on gas line. I also replaced the computer box at the side of the passenger side. Any advice Sir what’s going on? Thank you

[@derekpollard2914]

Funny that you say that and I was skeptical about getting that fuel pump because I was gonna return mine just the other day and I said hell everything else looks the same and I thought hell I guess I’ll reuse my damn plastic spacer so I cleaned it with break clean and put it on just out of habit on knowing they all come with a new spacer

[@MrINFLAMES669]

THNX MITCH, YOUR CHANNEL ITS VERY, VERY GOOD. IM IN MEXICO , AND WE HAVE DE SAME PROBLEM ITS THE 2ND TIME , THAT I SEND TO CHANGE THE PUMP BUT , NOW I´LL GO TO DO THE CHANGE , I WORK IN A SHOP FOR MACHINING AND I GO TO MAKE A SPACER IN UHMW OR NYLAMID (NYLON) (12mm) ACCORDING TO YOUR COMMENTS THNX AGAIN....

[@manololugo8103]

Do you know where I can get the bolts for the fuel pump?

[@stevegresock5939]

wondering with the wrong fuel and have 2 spacers, would that work. I have a 1991 Mazda B2200 that broke the arm. is the arm just to long? GREAT VIDEO!!!!

[@MazdaMitch]

Do not use two spacers. There is only one spacer to use anything more and the arm will not rest in the cam. The reason for the brake in the arm is either from people not using a spacer and there is too much tension on the arm or just shit arms from manufacturing on shitty pumps. By OEM from Mazda only. Part number is in description

[@stevegresock5939]

@@MazdaMitch Thank You!! I will buy the OEM fuel pump

[@Bawkr]

I wonder if you could customize the lever length and or angle in order to make it so that you don't need a spacer? Would it still seal the head?

That may be way more trouble than its worth.

When I got my 1990 Mazda B 2200 it ran amazing then started stalling found a cap off and seen it was getting too much air, caped it, then it started stalling, I could drive it less and less farther then it start and stall wouldn't move, but when I look down in the carb I can see it spray gas in the carb, so I put it up for winter, just pulled carb and cleaned it all and everything put it back on and then it will only run with starting fluid so I went to locate the pump and boom I don't have this fuel pump nor is it in my tank it's on the left of my tank some lil side pump with its own line the old line is folded in half. no gas comes out at the carb when it's on but sprays out at the pump that's located on outside of gas tank where this fuel pump is I don't have anything but 2 gas lines that turn in to one into the carb it's just lines after outside pump idk if I have someone's Frankenstein project. if I take some videos and post them to my KZbin and DM you, could you maybe tell me anything you, see? I will CashApp for any help possible, advice, issues brought up to aspect, if you might not no, again thank you thank you, if anyone has advice and wants to chime in and help a guy out!!!! Again, thank you if it actually helps I got no problem to shoot a CashApp, or PayPal, or anything along those lines' thanks again guy (Yours Truly Guy With A BROKEN Mazda)

[@cynthiahoff1512]

Hey Mitch, thanks so much for taking the time to do this video. I have a thought on why RockAuto is shipping the wrong pump, or pumps without the spacer. We had this problem with a customer's '86 B2000 and your video answered the what the heck question. Well our customer ordered a new pump from a parts house who verified he needed the spacer and that his truck was a manual transmission. So maybe that's it. The catalog assumes an automatic tranny? Or defaults to it? Just a thought.

[@MazdaMitch]

No, me and the guys in the group have all ordered from lots of sources and they all come that way now. I do specifically order for my 5 speed on RockAuto, and I have been ordering from RA for years. I made sure I am looking it up correctly and even looked back on past orders when they were correct. All manual transmission trucks have a mechanical fuel pump. All the autos have an electric in the tank. Cant mess this up. It wasnt until recently that they are NOT putting the better pump in the box. This is not ROCK AUTOs fault. This is a manufacturing issue. I found it best to order a good one directly from Mazda.

[@ismasalcido]

Hello good afternoon, at what pressure does this mechanical pump work?

[@MazdaMitch]

It depends on RPM but the max is like four I think. I have not run a fuel pressure regulator in 12 years it's not necessary.

[@ismasalcido]

I have a Mazda b2200 that adapted an electric pump because it has wear on the camshaft and saturates the carburetor, what do you recommend? It occurs to me to put a regulator

[@tubedisaster482]

Cant you just re use the old spacer if it’s got one?

[@MazdaMitch]

Yes you resuse it all the time. The point is to not lose it and reuse it.

[@blakewaddell451]

The one I got from Advance Auto last year didn’t come with any gasket or spacers but I had to have the truck back running that day is the only reason I got one from them. I had the original one from 1989 on it before and I can’t believe how long it lasted but it didn’t have anything on it either but I know it was original because it said Mazda on it.

[@aaronraines1190]

You can buy the spacer separately though

[@MazdaMitch]

This video is old. Nothing comes with one now so you have to order separately or reuse the old one so don't lose it.

[@selvinvalenzuela7789]

QUESTION: A 1990 B2200 will have this type of fuel pump instead of the electric one inside the gas tank or both?

[@MazdaMitch]

The Automatics had an electric pump in the tank. The standard trans, has a mechanical. The mechanical can work on both and is recommended because they often last longer, and in case of a failure, easier to replace. I have a video on that as well.

[@jacobfranco3780]

I will have my wife subscribe to your channel

Hey mitch I have a 1989 b22000 and it's giving me 16 miles to the gallon, did an overhaul on it, but still it's burning the gas raw. Everything is still original,, added an Xtra filter on the gas line runs good but burning too much gas

[@MazdaMitch]

Could be running rich, possibly due to the choke not opening up.

[@acruz1164]

Can I cancel that and put an electric pump ?if yes is it possible to make a video

[@MazdaMitch]

I have had electric pumps fail more often than mechanical and electric pumps are usually over powered for the Weber so you would need a regulator.

[@acruz1164]

@@MazdaMitch ok thanks yeah I Intall a electric pump with the regular carb and vacuum delete I feel like is getting to much fuel and still have that pump on the block but not connected is that ok ?how much fuel pressure I’m supposed to have on regular carb and the Webber carb

[@jdmgatekeeper5849]

How would you know if the fuel pump from the tank or the head is bad? There’s 2 right?

[@MazdaMitch]

There's only one fuel pump. All of the five speeds had the mechanical fuel pump on the head all of the automatics have an electric fuel pump deep in the tank and a block off plate on the head. I have another video where I describe and mention and show how I converted an automatic electric FUEL PUMP to a manual FUEL PUMP, and that is preferred. There is no known reason for the AUTO to have an electric fuel pump in the carbureted trucks

[@jdmgatekeeper5849]

@@MazdaMitch So I have a 5 speed. So I don’t have a fuel pump in the tank? I have mine on the head? So if it’s on the head, the fuel pump is sucking the fuel from the tank to the head? Thanks for the info. Need to get my daily back on the road. It shit the bed yesterday

[@MazdaMitch]

Standard trans trucks do not have a pump in the tank, no electric pumps, only the mechanical pump on the head just like in the video. Its just a pump that runs of the cam in the head.

Love the vids! I have a 1988 Mazda b2200 but it starts for a couple of seconds then dies. Any advice ?

[@MazdaMitch]

Sounds like fuel delivery issues. Check your fuel filter.

[@alvinomar6]

Mines dosnt have that fuel pump . its 1988 b2200

[@MazdaMitch]

You probably have an automatic. That means it generally has a electric fuel pump in the gas tank. I have another video about how to convert that to the mechanical pump which is much more reliable.

[@sethslater933]

Would this cause it to pump to gas. I just bought a 91 suppose to have 2.2 but has 2.0. But rotor cap was off so I watch your video on timing and did got it back to tbc even pulled the plug and made sure it was on compression. Got the cap back on #1. But now it’s dumping gas in the carb. Has Weber 32/36 carb on it when I got it so I’m not sure what’s going on. Vin says originally had carb engine so I don’t think it’s sending to much gas because of that.

[@MazdaMitch]

Not sure what you mean about your initial question "would this cause it to pump gas?" So you have a weber carb on, have you messed with it? Are you running a mechanical fuel pump? Is it an automatic or standard? The automatic trans trucks had a electric fuel pump and that may be your issue. Too much pressure. The timing shouldn't cause it to dump gas into the carb. Check your throttle cable to make sure there is a little slack in it, and all of your linkages.

[@sethslater933]

@@MazdaMitch it’s a standard but I think I’ve got more problems than just that. I’ve noticed while trying to get it running the harmonic balancer is gyrating. Like the crank is bent or the balancer is bad. I’ve got to take a look. May have bit off more than I could chew.

Thank you for your videos I am a real Appreciate everything you do for us I have a Mazda B 2200 1991 I have 5 Spacers I got it from Amazon $8.99 I don’t have no problem everything working fine but I have a automatic transmission I swap the carburetor for the Weber my transmission only change two gears first and second after that is just keeping going No sleep no problem only driving to gears I wander if I did something wrong

[@MazdaMitch]

The transmission requires a vacuum to shift and the main vacuum for that is on the back of the intake hopefully you did not get rid of that when you did the Weber swap

[@stevengallegos6860]

I have an issue with my Mazda B2200...I’m running the Weber 32/36 electric choke. When I drive it runs strong but then bogs and stalls after a couple mins when it gets hot, then I’ll wait for about 15 mins and it will turn over again, so I was thinking vapor lock. I got a new fuel pump, spark plugs, coil and inspected the distributor. I’ve seen your other video with the Weber heat soak so I ordered that spacer. I checked all around for vacuum leaks with carb cleaner. Could it possibly be a sensor? Thank you

[@stevengallegos6860]

I also routed my fuel lines away from heat source.

[@MazdaMitch]

No not a sensor, there are none left. It's basically like a simple go kart now with a Weber. It's a beautiful thing. You probably should check your float height and adjust the float. It's probably sucking the bowl dry and not keeping enough in the bowl.

[@stevengallegos6860]

MazdaMitch thanks for the quick reply. I will try that.

[@lincornelison1183]

So which years of the B2200's have the mechanical fuel pump vs the electrical? I would like to buy a really good b2200, short box, single cab, ready to go, Weber Carb would be nice, a black one with the trim, even better. Just what i would like.

Didn't matter on the year. For some stupid asinine reason all the automatic had an electric fuel pump in the tank and the fuel filter mounted outside in the tank. Both are bad ideas..

What's your best guess(es) as to what would be wrong with a 1991 B2200, automatic, that won't start when it rains? Easy or trouble?

[@MazdaMitch]

Check to see if you have a leak or water in the passenger floorboard. While the computer is not needed generally, its in the kick panel on the passenger side and I am wondering if its getting wet and somehow preventing it from starting. Other than that, as long as the distributor cap and all is dry, the coil is dry, it should start.
