Before I rush out and buy a workshop manual, does anyone know if the zzr600d CIRCA 1990, came with a fuel pump? I know the later models did, I bought a project with starting prob, no fuel getting to the spark. Its had a bit of a bodge and I want to check every possibility before stripping carbs.

If i think of anything else ill come back and add to this thread ok
