FWIW, I do think the pumps will sometimes get blamed for otherwise deficient designs. I had all kinds of trouble with my RObb Mc 1100. Setup exactly how he wanted. But I think some of the issue could have been the basic stock replacement tank and running away from the sump.

When I went electric the tank came with baffles. Which may have been the real fix for me. Hard to say. The catch 22 of it is, if you are going to buy a baffled tank why wouldn't you do an in tank pump. A basic cheap and reliable walbro will supply enough fuel for a carb with a return regulator 5 times over. And be significantly cheaper than the baller mechanical pump.
