Re: Fuel pump with return port

And I recommend never replace anything you have that is 20 years old or older and still working. You may end up needing to replace it every couple years from here on out. There is almost nothing made better today.
Thanks for the explanation of how the re-circulation works. Sounds like a regulator with two output ports is what's needed to keep the fuel cool between pump and carb.

Funny but I was thinking the same thing as you about keeping the old pump. Pretty sad state of affairs, huh? We're outsourcing our manufacturing to communist and third world countries to save a few bucks. And we get what we pay for.

That I know how to do. The real problem is I can't just copy an image from another website and paste it into this post. What I did here was copy the image's address and use the "insert image" icon. However, I can't just drop in an image like I can on other forums, like hotrodders.com. CNTRL+C, CNTRL+V, resize, and you're done!
