Re: electric fuel pump to assist starting?

Dave, I think you are correct about the dead-man switch. I don't run mine except to prime the carbs. I don't have an electric pump yet on the 400, but I am going to install one. If the 400 sits for more than a week, I have to crank it for a while to get enough gas to run it. I think I'd rather have the oil pressure of a running engine than the doubtful pressure of a cranking one. You say to-mah-toe, I
say toe-may-toe. I wouldn't want to run on the electric pump except in an emergency.
