Carter Fuel Pump- sort of died
 
I have been running this pump since spring but it has been a short season for me. Only about 75 hours on the pump.

At the lake last weekend I was doing my daily checks and caught the fuel pressure at 15 PSI dead idle. I am not sure how long it has been this way but all seemed well, the Holly Blue carb did not unseat the needle or anything else bad.

I had a spare fuel pump under the seat so I swapped it out and now back to 6 PSI.

In years past I used the smaller version of this Carter on a vanilla 502 and it lasted for several seasons before I upgraded HP and pumps. Just confirms my suspicion that if you are going to run an electric fuel pump you better carry a spare!
