Electric only on a somewhat worked TR4 and on a heavily worked TR6 with tri=
ple strombergs.  I do carry  a spare ready to drop in with the connections,=
 both electric and fuel, ready to go. Or you can set up some long leads and=
 use alligator clips to get you to the next stop and tie wrap it to somethi=
ng.

btw MGs have used electric pumps since at least the TD series

Wow! Many thanks to all who responded. What a great crew! One thing I forgo=
t to ask is how many people use the electric pump to feed the existing mech=
anical pump and how many people rely on the electric pump by itself.

I put an electric fuel pump in line on my '49 Roadster. I installed it only
because I was tired of getting stranded with a malfunctioning fuel pump
because of debris in the restored fuel tank. It's mounted on the inner
fender with a filter in front and another behind. I didn't want it under the
car because any roadside maintenance that might be required would be
difficult at best.

I have it on a switch and, to answer your question, I turn it on, wait until
it stops clicking and then hit the starter. Engine fires right up and if I
remember I turn it off and run on the mechanical pump.

Wow! Many thanks to all who responded. What a great crew! One thing I forgot
to ask is how many people use the electric pump to feed the existing
mechanical pump and how many people rely on the electric pump by itself.

In my case it is the electric pump only. Mechanical pump removed (3 new 
within 6 months as I defined the problem). In my case the cam regrinder 
evidently also ground down the cam pump lobe a little. The lobe was only 
giving the pump leaver a partial pump. The car would hardly idle and my 
fuel pressure gauge showed 0 at idle. The engine would tend to die if I 
suddenly gave the DCOEs full throttle. Switched to a pump that was 
providing 2-3 lbs at idle & the engine was totally transformed.
