I'm running wing tanks only with Facut fuel pumps, an inline pressure regulator set to 4 1/2 pounds, a Marvel Schebler carb on my 0-200. I use a N.C. solenoid that feeds from the carb side of the gascolator. It puts fuel into the intake "spider" just above the carb. With 80+ hours I've not had any trouble starting so it must be working fine. My 0-200 generally fires on the second or third blade. For the sake of science I'll go to the airport and varify that this morning. :-) The Tripacer (Lycombing engine) uses a hand primer that can't deliver but a few pounds (my guess) of primer pressure and it works just fine.
