What fuel pump works for running an engine at home?

If the engine has a mechanical pump you can use it, but you still need a fuel source, tubing and a filter. Steve's engine uses an ordinary electric Carter pump in one of the lower pressure versions, because he sometimes runs Stromberg carburetors at home and they only tolerate a couple of pounds of fuel pressure. It is a low pressure, high volume pump, plenty for this run.
