what ya all think about using a 1959 pump on a 1985 motor

[haulyard]

Have had problem with engine bogging down when advancing throttle,cleaning my carbs made a big difference,but it would still bog down at wot and then pick up ,bog,then pick up again,like is running out of gas.
So, i removed the VRO Pump that i had already plugged and was running pre-mix with and replaced it with a 1959 pump with sediment bowl from a four fifty four i had in shop,Wow great rpm's and throttle response on muffs but is raining now,so have to wait and see if pump was the problem....

I always wanted to do that. I simply like the look's of those old pump's because they looked like they were made to last. My thought was to use a pump on each carb. Not because it was needed, but just fore the looks.

would be hard to find room under cowling for three,i think one can supply the needs,was feeding a four cylinder motor now is only fueling a three cylinder

If it can supply that old four-fifty, it should be able to supply anything. I would like to hook a pressure, vacuam to one.
