if it has one, its kinda hard to miss. looks like fuel injection, but on the wrong side of the cylinder head.
the pump kinda looks like a small supercharger. [pump turned by fanbelt type arrangement i think]
check to see if there is 4 bolts in the head, right above the exhaust manifold. that means it HAD one...
hope this helps some.

It takes a couple of horsepower to drive it and it takes air out of the air cleaner which is already constrictive. |
