he said to help with a vapor lock problem.. so yah it'll work. going down the 1/4 mile it'll work. continuous use,
it won't work.




Why would it not work for continuous use?

Running an electric to feed the mechanical is an old trick...and they worked fine under continuous use. The only problems I'm aware of is the extra noise from the electric pump and (as mentioned) if the diaphram in the mechanical fails, the electric will pump fuel directly into the crankcase.
