Just a general question here...
I have a small inline electric fuel pump that provides gas at 5 psi to a small bore Rochester 2 Jet.
I have the pump running, and the carb off the intake (don't want fuel running down in the engine). If I open the throttle there is a nice steady stream of gas for a few seconds... and then it stops. Shouldn't the stream continue as long as I have the throttle open?
If I close the throttle, and then re-open it, I get the stream again, and then it stops.
Same deal with part throttle, just a smaller stream.
Is that right? Or is there some other issue?
This seems to be a noob question, I know. Its just that it would seem to me that the fuel flow should be continuous at WOT.
