Re: Electric Fuel Pump to suit SU Carb

60 l per hour, against a 1098cc engine that does 30 ish mpg. Suspect you would need some form of return system unless it is limited to delivering upto 60l? After all that`s what 11 gals?

Re: In case you haven't seen the news...

as original as Triggers Broom?

Edd and Fuzz with Wayne as the front man would be the ultimate, in my view.
