It would be a snap if mine had a tall reed block for access like the Honda.
I have now stacked my bets. When I get the spare reed block and manifold in, I will look at tapping in there.
If not, I have ordered a K&N Model 81-0400 electric fuel pump for small engines rated at 1-2 psi output.
If it works, maybe we can create a "sticky" about fuel pumps and Minarelli horizontal motors.

I got a used reed block and manifold and tried to drill thru and tap a port. It is possible to drill the reed block in a corner, but the stock manifold has rubber right where the hole has to be drilled and tapped.
It may well be possible to do it with an aftermarket manifold that is all metal. If you use a 1/16" pipe fitting, the hole is not very large. In an all metal manifold, it just might work.

Here is what I did to fix the fuel problem. I gave up on the pulse pump. I bought a K&N Model 81-0400 electric fuel pump. Rated at 1-2 psi. Remember this is for a floor mounted tank on a ruckus clone frame. Works perfectly. I wired it into the tail light power.  |

I was having the same issue on my ruckus 2 stone with a pulse fuel pump. I went the route of tapping into the crankcase instead is an electronic pump. It was an issue odd the bike cutting out after extended time at sustained rpm especially cruising speed. Tapping into the crankcase cured the issue. I suspected a fuel starvation issue which lead me to this old thread. I thought I should share my fix for people that want to keep the mechanical pump. I drilled and tapped a hole as seen in the first pic, the size of a mig welding tip and drilled a bigger hole in the mig tip to allow air flow. I drilled a bigger hole in the bolt hole for the cvt cover and ran the tube through it. Then made a harness to keep it from blowing it off the fitting. Jb welded the fitting to make it air tight.
