Despite inline filters either side of the pump it would pick up the slightest bit of muck and it would block.
I also found with the pump being mounted in the engine bay, on long hot runs the pump would vapour lock, or would appear to vapour lock.
I ran mine mounted to the lower plate on the rear of the hull and had an adjustable "King" filter and reg... The stromberg 97 carb I used only liked a maximum delivery pressure of 2.5psi and the facet was capable of more than this.
I ran an inline fuel pressure gauge too.
Facet don't do a 6v pump....I am running 12v system on the engine, I have a regulator box and some magic trickery hidden away so all my 6v gauges still work as they should.
A pal re flashed my generator to charge for 12V (it was a three brush genny with one brush removed)
