RE: Will a fuel pump help with flooding?
From Rcpilet :
>Whats a Perry pump?
>It's a fuel pump. It PUMPS fuel. That is all. It does NOT regulate fuel.
The Micro Oscillating pump has a volume control on it. That's a form of flow regulation.
>Does your car have a fuel pump? Of course it does. Does that fuel pump dump directly into the carb? NO.
YES. I have two carbureted vehicles. Both fuel pumps outlets are connected directly to the carburetor inlets.
>Why not? If you can get the fuel to the carb--it should be able to handle the rest. Right?
Right! That's what the float valves and/or needles are for.
>NO.
YES!
>The fuel volume and pressure must be REGULATED to meet the demands of the engine/carb at any given time.
They are. The MO pump has a volume control, moreover, it pumps more fuels as a function of engine RPM. That's regulation.
>If all you did was plumb the fuel pump to the carb, it wouldn't run. Thats why cars with carbs still have a fuel pressure regulator........
Neither of my carbureted vehicles has an external pressure regulator. They both run fine.
