Default 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.

Alright, this has gone on long enough. Most points have already been covered and the original poster has signed off on what he's going to do. From now on the horse is already dead . . . .
