Thanks for the offering, Larry. It raises a question for me, though. 
The fuel pump pumps thru the gas tube to the see-thru fuel filter and then 
thru another short tube to the carb. If the pump is pushing fuel in that 
direction constantly, why would the closing of the carb float cause the level of fuel 
in the see-thru filter to drop? Where is the air coming from that now 
occupies the filter? 
Answers, anyone?
Thanks.
Paul

Can anyone give me an answer on this?
Sometimes while idling my 62 poly 318, the see-thru fuel filter is completely 
full of fuel. Other times, I can see the fuel pulsing into the filter so 
slowly it only keeps it 1/4 full (and when it is doing this, even reving the 
engine doesn't increase the slow flow in).
Is there something wrong with my fuel pump or is this normal? 
Thanks for any help.
Paul
