Also, is it best to run fuel lines below prop in tunnel.

Fuel lines must be fixed firmly in the tranny tunnel and be away from electrics, preferably on the opposite side. Clip them every 6" and well away from any moving parts and protected where they enter and leave the tunnel.

The pump is quite critical for the bike carbs and you should match the pump to the carbs. It's okay to place the pump in the engine bay as it will suck the fuel fine with an inline filter prior to it.

Bike carbs are a cheap way to produce a fast free revving engine and will even pass IVA on pre 95 engines if set up properly. Not so economical but do sound good to.
