Mechanical versus electric fuel pump

[jwd]

It's very common for the carb. to be dry after sitting for several weeks. Since it is vented to atmosphere and the carb. and engine are very hot when it's shut off, the fuel evaporates quickly. I like the fact that I have to crank it a bit after sitting because that builds the oil pressure before it fires up. Keep the mechanical pump.

Maybe a dumb question, but will having an electric fuel pump between the tank and the mechanical fuel pump bypass the mechanical fuel pump and fill the bowls? Or will it just build up pressure between the tank and the mechanical fuel pump?

Thus accomplishing nothing!
