I have a new 6 volt electric fuel pump used as a primer on the car. The gauge at the carb reads 4.2 lbs. of pressure.
The 1st thing to do is hit the primer pump until you hear it stop running. At that point the fuel bowl will be filled and make start much easier. You then initiate the automatic choke.

It is on a spring loaded toggle switch? And if inline has a flow-thru rating?
