Default A strange richness...

Matt,
There's a little confusion in this thread.
Jay's engine is a carbureted O-540, mine are IO-540's. You are correct, no
need to "pump" the throttle of a FI engine, no accelerator pump. I also
agree with the comment made about only pumping the throttle of a carbureted
engine while cranking.
