Hi all.
I was at the show last weekend in Clayton.
I had to come home a day early with a bad fuel pump.
I just rebuilt the pump with a kit from Classic Boat Connection and we are up and running again.
I checked the pressure and the rebuilt pump is running at 2-3 pounds no change at any engine speed.
I'm on my way to the islands tomorrow morning and just want to make sure that this is adequate pressure.

Re: Fuel pump output pressure
IMHO if it keeps your engine running at all throttle settings, it is adequate pressure. With carburetors volume is more important than pressure.
Have a safe trip to the islands!

Re: Fuel pump output pressure
Just got back, the pump performed flawlessly even at sustained speeds of 3000 rpm. I will assume that it's fine! Thanks for the reply.
