quick question, when using the mikuni pulse pump for this conversion why can't you just run the air outlet for the old pressure tank to the air/pulse inlet on the pulse pump? thanks

The pump needs a pulse, alternating pressure and vacuum if you will. The air only provides pressure, there is a check valve that prevents the pulsing. If you remove the check valve on the reed plate it "may" work, I cannot really say. Rick
