idled a little over 500 rpm.=C2=A0 Usually with the jets (probably wrong o=
nes) in the Weber startups have not been under 1000 rpm at idle in the past=
.=C2=A0 The pump was clicking away as normal.=C2=A0 It has rubber type fuel=
hose on either side of the pump which should not present a problem.Don't w=
