My Harrington ran ok but not great until I switched to this pump. It was the single greatest improvement I every made. All the carb issues went away.

We ONLY use the Carter Rotary pumps. They are High Volume (60-70 GPH) but only 4 psi. This is PERFECT for all Weber applications from a Single 32/36 DGV on a Truck, Jeep or Car to a Triple Sidedraft setup on a Road Race car making 300 HP...
First go here and read about it:

"...Multiply horsepower by .38 (naturally-aspirated motors) or .47 (force-induction motors) to come up with a fairly accurate guide to how many liters per hour of fuel you will need to feed the engine..."
At wide open throttle we might get 100hp * 0.38 = 38 L/Hr (or about 10 GPH)
At cruise we might get 20hp * 0.38 = 7.6 L/Hr (or about 2 GPH)
So, from the math, it tells me that a stock mechanical pump will pump WAY more fuel than an Alpine engine will ever produce in HP.
Is this right?
