Pumping the gas pedal without the engine running does not squirt gas into the intake manifold. Am I right about this? The SU's need the engine running (resulting in fuel pressure) Paul Dorsey 60 TR3

Nooooo! Fuel pressure comes from the fuel pump. Many domestic carbs (if not all) also have an accelerator pump which squirts gasoline into the throat of the car. That's the pump the SU does not have.

Correct, there is no pump in the car, you are just opening the butterfly when you depress the pedal. Pull the choke and crank the engine. Bill B '58 TR-3A TS/30766 L '59 TR-3A TS/64974 LO "A Triumph

"Sticking your hands over the air intake on the SU while cranking the motor will pull extra fuel into the engine, though." Or some people use the choke to save all that lifting the bonnet ect. David
