Correct, there is no pump in the car, you are just opening the butterfly
when you depress the pedal. Pull the choke and crank the engine.

Subject: [TR] fuel pressure needed?
Pumping the gas pedal without the engine running does not squirt gas into
the intake manifold. Am I right about this? The SU's need the engine
running (resulting in fuel pressure)
