I wanted a flow-thru pump for a 6-volt positive ground car to use as a carb primer. The one listed in the Studebaker Intl. Catalog is not flow thru and the very pleasant man i talked to there said he was not sure it would work on a positive ground system. I like to use SA but they really dropped the ball here as the catalog description has no information. in the end I ordered one from Summit that was everything i needed. Thanks for all the replies, I appreciate it
My original post
I have a 55 Speedster with the original 6-volt, positive ground setup. I start the car sporadically and have to crank it quite a bit to get fuel to the carb. I think it’s evaporation of the lousy gas we’re now forced to buy. All that being said I think a flow-thru, electric fuel pump is a solution.
Has anyone used the electric pump # 800249 listed in the Studebaker International catalog (pg#185). I prefer to buy from them whenever possible but the catalog info is sparse. I want to use the electric pump only to prime the carb and then shut it off to use the mechanical pump. Of course it needs to be positive ground.
Thanks in advance, Murray
