Ok
You pump the pedal to start a carb car. Jealous of you EFI guys.
I never really do it more than 3 times & some of my cars are run on old
stale gas & not started for months at a time. I am very lazy.
Pumping the pedal does not get gas to the carb from the pump, or the pump
from the tank. Right? Unless the motor is turning the pump doesn't operate
& it doesn't move any fuel from tank forward.
My understanding is that pumping the pedal just dumps some fuel from the
floats into the heads, priming the motor to start. Is this correct? I don't
really know much about the accelerator pump.
20-25 pumps seems excessive to me.
