Restoration of Hull 731- Carrier, MG (Aust) Mortar Carrying

[Andrew Rowe]

Hi Darrin, I am not a great believer in an electric fuel pump on carriers. The reason being is they are so easy to flood and to bypass the needle valve and full your cylinders up with petrol. However your climate might force you to consider this option. We run rubber hose from the fuel valve to about opposite the gearbox where we install and inline filter and an outboard motor fuel squeezy and then rubber up to the fuel pump, then copper pipe to the carb, works all the time. Only use the squeezy when carrier has been sitting around to save battery. cheers, I like the paint job!
