My bet is.......once Charlie does your carburetor and fuel pump and you install them nice and tightly, that will eliminate the need for post #4 - with no intended offense to 47Topless

I have had dozens of flatheads and not once found the need for an electric pump. With a PROPERLY rebuilt carburetor and pump, there is simply no need.

Charlie gets my vote. Good guy that does very good work at a reasonable price.
