Reply to "600 carb issue"

Here's an update from this weekends testing.
I did a pressure test on the fuel pump. Turns out I'm at 8.5 lbs right off the bat while cranking for 5 seconds. Since this was a dead head to the gauge and not to the carberator I figure this is what pressure I'm putting on the float needle and seat when closed. As I'm staring at the gauge contimplating this the gauge continues to rise above 10 lbs! I figure this is do to the static pressure build-up on the pump diaphram. I would prefer to stay with a manual pump rather than electric however it seems that no manufacture I have found will eather specify their discharge pressure or even print the specs for there pumps. The good news is the solution to a number of issues are pointing to replacing the pump.
