Steve,
First figure out what your horsepower level is or where you hope it is. Let's just say it's 500 multiplied by .6 Lbs per HP per hour = 300 Lbs per hour. Divide that by 6.1 Lbs per gallon of gasoline = 49.18 Gal per hour, BUT that has to be measured after the regulator at the carb inlet. The difference between what the pump is rated at and what comes out the other end depends on plumbing, bends, restrictions such as 90° elbows, line size, filter(s) and regulator style. 110 GPH can disappear fast on a poorly designed fuel system.
So to answer your first question, 35GPH will never feed your motor unless it was a Briggs and Stratton. HTH
