Just read this one on FBBO. Good information!

That solution has been around for quite some time, so I'm kinda surprised that post was from yesterday.
Still good info though for someone that doesn't want to have to crank for fuel but not run a dedicated electric.

Did this years ago. I don't remember the name, anymore, it was a solid state pump, "big" and lasted a good long while. At some point the mechanical pump failed, so I just used the electric, alone. it did finally quit me at some point, I don't remember when. Had over 100K on it

I know I'm right....
Yup, been telling people that for years. A Facet style 'jiggler' pump is good enough to prime a carb (as well as a 4 banger on up with larger models) Its just a 1 way check valve on a sliding piston that operates going back and forth electromagnetically. Should last for years as I had the original still in my Mazda since 1983! IIRC there was a stock setup on something that used an electric secondary pump through a mechanical. Maybe an older stock turbo setup?

I got me a Sno-mobile primer button in anticipation of this problem, but it just never materialized. Guess it doesn't get hot enough up here,lol. Oh wait,lol, I got me a double pumper. The pumps are at the bottom of the bowls,and each bowl holds over 50cc. Parked in the shade, the bowls take months to dry up.
