Chris,


I am not discussing actual function, or which is more appropriate for the job.

The Perry pump is made of Perry's proprietary parts and generally goes for a $30- street price.
The parts needed to manufacture this pump and the labor needed to assemble it justify the price you are asked to pay.


The Cline Regulator is made of two plastic pressure castings, worth less than a Dollar and a Walbro carburettor's pump diaphragm, which I doubt its actual compatibility with glow fuel... that costs ~$5- to the end customer... and you are being asked to [link=http://www.billsroom.com/pcfs/pricing.htm]pay $60-[/link] for it.
It may do the job; at least temporarily, but it is not worth the asking price. Maybe for $15...

The Iron-Bay? $44- for the same Walbro diaphragm, but with brass fuel fittings. Still too expensive. Worth $20- at most.


The only one that will not make you feel robbed is the Perry and it could be made to work right, if you follow the instructions.
