The electrical pump DOES push through the mechanical pump. Like Tom I've used a cheap $39 electric pump with a toggle switch under the dash to fill my float bowls if the car has sat for any length of time. When the float bowls are full and the little electric pump meets resistance it's tone changes so I turn it off. Then two or three pumps on the pedal and the engine starts right up. These are street cars not race cars so any restrictions have never been noticed by me. I did this because I didn't like grinding the starter to get the mechanical pump to fill the float bowls.
