Fuel pump was used in automotive applications (mine has an 80's subaru turbo pump on it). I am a bit surprised that 3/4 of the injectors are "bad." Maybe need cleaned?

I agree, I doubt the 3 injects are broken. I would send them all out to get cleaned. Fuel pump is cheap. PS (to OP) how do you know its broken?
But I do agree with riturbo, I would sooner fix the DFI before going to carbs. Jetting 4 carbs to perfection including balancing is a pain in the ass, then you would have to mess around with the throttle cable, get pods, a host of jets, etc. I have a variable resistor on my GPz's air temp sensor, I can dial in the fuel in seconds and while riding! I'm quite happy with the DFI over carbs.

If you have good electrics then the injectors can be cleaned and the fuel pump can be replaced.
Check my other posts, the pump and fuel relay I have used is listed in them.
Biggest issue with DFI is dodgy connectors in the wiring.
Get the workshop manual from ebay seller pumpkin874. I bought one a couple of weeks ago.
Working in a bike shop you should have all the tools and equipment to get it going in short order.
The limitation of the original FI is the lack of tuneability for racing, correct me if I'm wrong.
Don't be afraid of the black box, it doesn't bite,
I have not had any issues with the FI computer. I did buy two more used ones, for backup, and have swapped them in, to test them. They are all working soundly.

I did p/u a working fuel pump and a complete f/i system on e-bay at a reasonable price and installed it but no cigar. You have to ask yourself why it was removed in the first place.I think that carbs off of a 83/84 Kz 1100 may be the way to go.Intend to run a airbox with stock exhaust.Will install Stage 1 Dyna jet kit,and i have a ultra-sonic carb cleaner to get all the crap out of the passage ways. The bike sat for many years and whatever gas that was in the tank really turned nasty.The only reason i bought it was because of the low mileage 2300 to be exact and the fact that its a real challenge.It could turn out to be a dud!Live and learn .

Have you tested at the connector with a bulb?
There are better injectors available. RC Engineering should be able to hook you up and/or clear yours. I guarantee that if they're good, cleaning them will work wonders.
With an adjustable pressure regulator and adjusting the TPS, the OEM DFI can be tuned for about any scenario you're going to throw at it, including completely removing the air box if you choose.

Agreed, crh comments and the others are sound. The dfi is pretty pimp. It's crude enough you can pass around with it using the tricks described above and not as fancy as today's with o2 sensors and cpu's. The best part is you never have to screw around with jets on 4 carbs.
