Kolbers,
I run an electric fuel pump in-line to my pulse pump also....no
primer...However, if you use a high volume fuel pump make sure that no more
than 5 psi (use with a regulator) gets to the carbs......if you don't , you
will overpressure the float bowls......

Hi Richard
re extra pump in your Challenger.
Why? I always start mine with the pull rope. Just a couple of squeezes on
the bulb during your DI. Finish your walk round, switch on, ensure throttle
is closed, put chokes on, yell `clear Prop` and pull the string.
Close the chokes,blip the throttle to ensure you have the proper response.
Clamber in and fly away.
Why complicate things? The engine has two carbs and two plugs to make it
perform better. Two pumps achieves nothing but extra weight.If you are
talking about two plugs per pot, dual ignition and stuff then that is too
exotic for me, I only have single.
The only time I wished I had something doubled up is when the drive belt
shed its teeth.
Cheers
Pat

Well, Pat, Your back.
Pat, first thing that you have to understand is that were "yanks" and here in yank land we like excess. That’s why advertising is working so well.
Ask yourself this question:
Where else in the world would or could a human being buy a Cadillac pick-up truck? And why? I mean, if you want to remodel a room, hauling the 2x4’s in the back of your Caddy is like the cats meow!
But seriously folks, two cylinders, two carbs, twin plugs, two mag’s. Why not two fuel supplies. Just to be sure. But in the case I outlined, it may have been the reason for the problem. Both fuel pumps worked then and still do now but alas, no fuel.
