<div dir="ltr">Dave -<div><br></div><div>The pump says 2.5 - 4 psi. I suspect it is on the low end of that range (did not measure this one but have measured similar). Have had no problem with either the SUs or Stranglebergs.</div><div><br></div><div>As you probably know - it takes a pitifully small amount of pumping to adequately supply those carbs.</div><div><br></div><div>One thing I have found with these pumps is that they cannot be installed in-line (that is in the regular fuel delivery but not powered). Fuel will get through the idle pump but in hard driving (say 70+ mph or a fast mountain climb) you can get starvation. They could be installed in a bypass mode I suppose, though I did not do that.</div><div><br></div><div>Geo</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Sun, Jul 8, 2018 at 8:43 PM dave <<a href="mailto:dave@ranteer.com">dave@ranteer.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple"><div class="m_4789112383053480140WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal">What is the pressure of this pump?<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>From:</b> Triumphs <<a href="mailto:triumphs-bounces@autox.team.net" target="_blank">triumphs-bounces@autox.team.net</a>> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Geo Hahn<br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, July 8, 2018 7:00 PM<br><b>To:</b> Andrew Uprichard <<a href="mailto:auprichard@uprichard.net" target="_blank">auprichard@uprichard.net</a>><br><b>Cc:</b> Triumphs <<a href="mailto:triumphs@autox.team.net" target="_blank">triumphs@autox.team.net</a>><br><b>Subject:</b> [TR] Electric Fuel Pump (was Re: 2018 Kastner Cup)<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal">On Sun, Jul 8, 2018 at 4:47 PM Andrew Uprichard <<a href="mailto:auprichard@uprichard.net" target="_blank">auprichard@uprichard.net</a>> wrote:<u></u><u></u></p></div><blockquote style="border:none;border-left:solid #cccccc 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in"><div><p class="MsoNormal"><img border="0" width="32" height="32" style="width:.3333in;height:.3333in" id="m_4789112383053480140_x0000_i1025"><u></u><u></u></p></div></blockquote><div><p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p></div><blockquote style="border:none;border-left:solid #cccccc 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in"><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">...Headed out Friday for what was going to be an enjoyable, 100 mile trip.
