Pinto bench test
Would a gravity fed fuel line be enough to run a pinto for a short period?
Cheers

Can't see why not, I've seen a Kent engine running via an 'IV drip' It ran and revved no worries.
Good luck with it Drew

Cool, I'm going to blank off the mechanical fuel pump hole, will it hurt to leave the little shaft in there or do ya take it out?
Thanks guys

Shaft can stay in but include the spacer so it doesn't clash with the blanking plate.

Definitely take it out.
It's not needed so remove it to avoid it bashing the blanking plate
