Easy to store in your road kit. </p><p style="font-size:12pt;font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(51,51,51)">Another idea would be to install the electric pump in line and work it with a remote switch if/when needed. A good friend has a Porsche 356 and installed a Facet pump just to prime the carbs before start up. When it sits for a couple weeks, the carbs go dry and he had to crank it for too long to fill the float bowls. Hence, the in-line Facet pump. A perfect fix. </p><p style="font-size:12pt;font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(51,51,51)">Dave H.</p><blockquote type="cite">On July 8, 2018 at 4:59 PM Geo Hahn <<a href="mailto:ahwahneetr@gmail.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">ahwahneetr@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <br> <br><div dir="ltr"><div class="m_-7483714590983303811m_-4776580664183866474m_1673093540943632157ox-70efce8a11-gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Sun, Jul 8, 2018 at 4:47 PM Andrew Uprichard < <a href="mailto:auprichard@uprichard.net" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">auprichard@uprichard.net</a>> wrote: <br></div><blockquote><div><img id="m_-7483714590983303811m_-4776580664183866474m_1673093540943632157image002.gif@01D416E9.7A882200" width="0" height="0" class="m_-7483714590983303811m_-4776580664183866474m_1673093540943632157ox-70efce8a11-m_-1261101205066010896shape" style="display:none;width:0;height:0"><div class="m_-7483714590983303811m_-4776580664183866474m_1673093540943632157ox-70efce8a11-m_-1261101205066010896WordSection1"><p class="m_-7483714590983303811m_-4776580664183866474m_1673093540943632157ox-70efce8a11-MsoNormal"> <br></p><br></div></div></blockquote><div> </div><blockquote><div><div class="m_-7483714590983303811m_-4776580664183866474m_1673093540943632157ox-70efce8a11-m_-1261101205066010896WordSection1"><p class="m_-7483714590983303811m_-4776580664183866474m_1673093540943632157ox-70efce8a11-MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:'Calibri','sans-serif';color:#1f497d">...Headed out Friday for what was going to be an enjoyable, 100 mile trip.
