I know this has been discussed in multiple threads. For what ever reason it seems the number one after market part that everyone seems to have an issue with is a mechanical fuel pump. When I got my 47 project up and running it had a new Chinese made fuel pump that failed less than 2 hours in operation. I replaced it with a Carter. Not sure where it is made these days but the name has a long history and it had a 1 year warranty. With less than 10 hours run time on the engine it started cutting out on me at run speeds. It was starved for gas. It would start back up after a minute and I would get a couple hundred yards down the road and cut out again. I requested and received a new fuel pump from Carter under the warranty and installed it last night. After a long test drive I am declaring the issue resolved. That is for now. I am curious how long this fuel pump will last. If this one fails I am going to go to an electric fuel pump. I really wanted to stay with a mechanical pump but I also don't want to keep fighting it.
