Thanks Roger:
I'll go look at regulators and pumps and see witch is the cheaper way to
go. I got the electric pump in a hurry cause the mechanical one was
spewing fuel all over the place while I was out moroting. I went into
the store and bought whatever they had hanging on the shelf and CHEAP!
I don't even know what the pressure is cause I threw out the package.
All I know is after that I began having trouble with the carb bowls
overflowing but until I saw the post on the list I never did
assisiate it with the new petorl pump.
Right now though I gotta go take the starter off the car and work on
it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
