Engine wont fire after sitting a couple/few weeks without dumping gas down the carb. I don't think its the new Edlebrock 800 cfm accelerator pump. Its still running the oem fuel pump and I've done heads, cam, intake, etc. Been told I should think about upgrading it.
Can anyone recommend a good replacement for it?
Thank you.

I've used the Carter race pump on a few builds w/ no regulator...no problems.

Edelbrock makes a good mechanical pump. I can tell you for a fact it won’t solve the dry bowl issue. After three days I still need to pour gas down the carb. Before then it’s golden.
I want my fair share

You need to add an electric if you want to stop the problem you are having. You need one that will let fuel go through when offunless you want to ditch the mechanical altogether. Just running an electric for a few seconds will fill the bowls when dry

I've run the Carter but with a Holley red pump, I'm going with a Quick Fuel electronic pump now.
Have a great day Iowan
