O.K.

This little(?) beastie is ready to come home. However I need to wrap my head around a small problem. The shop told me that they have a hard time getting the car to fire in the morning until they started hooking up an electric fuel pump. Without the electric fuel pump it seems the gas drains out of the carbs. Now granted the carbs have not been rebuilt so that may solve the problem for the long term. For now I may just go with the elec pump until I can afford to have the carbs done. Also what about putting in the elec. as a feed to the mechanical pump or should I just bypass the mechanical pump altogether.
