Carbking, I appreciate your info.
Can you go into more detail about this priming switch? As this is something I'd like to be able to do. So that the engine fires as quickly as possible.
The permanent wiring for an electric fuel pump should be fired by an oil pressure switch. That way, in some form of an emergency, if the engine dies, the electric pump ceases to function.
For starting purposes, one can easily wire a push-button override (like an older starter switch) to energize the pump without cranking the engine. Run the pump for 7~15 seconds (whatever is necessary) to fill the carburetors. Release the push-button, and the pump stops. Start the engine, which brings up the oil pressure and the pump restarts. Mount the push-button in the dash or under the dash or???
