correct?"


Apparently they are not supposed to do that,but they often do.  As long as it 
slows down from a rapid pump to an occasional one when the float bowls fill up 
I would not worry about it.  My 100 did it, I had daily driver Sprites an MGBs 
that did it for years and everything worked fine.  Just make sure there are no 
fuel leaks, drive and enjoy.
