Yep, Ed...same thing with the pumped and Perry'ed K&B. I bypassed the pump
and ran it with a stock 7B carb for about 15 years, then when it came overhaul
time I finally replaced the pump with a stock backplate.
If you like to fiddle all day long at the field, put the pump, carb, and the OS
long pipe on one, and get ta' fiddlin".
FBD.
