The carb doesn't pull fuel from the fuel tank, the fuel pump does that. If you disable the in-tank electric pump, you will need to provide some type of pump somewhere. Typical is an engine-mounted mechanical pump.
If you disable the in-tank electric pump, you will have to remove it from the tank. There is a sticky in the top section of this forum about converting an in-tank electric pump pick-up into a "mechanical" pick-up. Personally, I'd prefer having an in-tank electric pump, as pumps push better than they suck. |
