Group,
Want to run a electric boost or backup pump along with my duel mikuni pulse pump. I hear to run them parallel, slitting them before and after the pumps but, how to do it right with a duel output pump? Ive ran them for others in series,through the electric on to the pulse then to carbs but have heard stories of the pulse pump not drawing through the electric and the electric over flowing the carb bowls. electric will be used for take off and landing only. what does the majority use?
Fly Safe ,
Wade

Wade,
You said,"...electric will be used for take off and landing only."
The guy who I bought my FireFly from said the same thing... As I flew away I asked myself... "Self... how far from the airport do you want to get before you shut off the electric pump and discover the impulse pump is dead?" I fly with both pumps, full time and use a pressure regulator (available from the usual suspects...) to keep the pumps from overpowering the carburetor.
But that's just me.

Wade,
The dual output is just an internal tee. You can can tie into either outlet
with your electric pump and it will feed both carbs.
