Fuel pump shutting off?

Ok I have carbed 350 with a edelbrock performer and with a external electric fuel pump ran by a toggle switch and the pumps gas but once the car is running it stops pumping? Im confused what would cause this?? I bought the car about a month ago and it ran fine until yesterday.. Any ideas?

Re: Fuel pump shutting off?

What year, make and model is your car?

Has the pump stopped running altogether or only when the car turns on? Do you have a regulator? What kind of pump is it? Is the return line still hooked up?
