1.6 litres including 0.4 in reserve according to the workshop manual

the 0.4 will be when the sight glass starts to go clear as the oil is been used

last one i had was a mikuni vacuum pump with a 28mm Dellorto

you drill a hole in the back of the casing and add a threaded BSP hose connector - connect this to top inlet on the pump with fuel line (the crankcase makes the pump work with the crank rotation) then connect tank to inlet and outlet to carb

no electrics or anything very simple and effective - mine was bolted to the frame under the panel

not sure how it would work with a standard carb as never attempted it

I used a DF44-211
