Thank you all. As some of you might recall, I did do a fuel flow test and
found a leak in the left auxiliary tank. However, I did remain with this
nagging issue of a pump to the engine. My fuel flow test revealed no need for a
pump but being an old Piper Cherokee Jock with an electric fuel pump for
takeoff and landings, the urge was there for such a device.
I thought it best to solicit an opinion from the people that know the KR best
and that is why I asked. Thank you all for your contribution.

Luis,
I have and KR2S with 2100D. I do not have a fuel pump. As originally
installed, the fuel line is 3/8" from the header tank to the gascolator, then
1/4" to Carb inlet. I did do a fuel flow test before phase I testing.
Rechecking my notes, for the Revmaster you should have 8 gallons/hr minimum to
pass the test. Test should be performed with a nose up attitude to simulate
takeoff and have just minimum fuel in the tank. It has worked fine for my
airplane over the years. I did replace the gascolator with a fuel filter later.
Thanks,

KR2 with Revmaster 2100D.
I was not going to install a fuel pump on my Revmaster 2100D since I felt that
the header tank should provide sufficient head pressure to supply the engine
with fuel under most normal non-aerobatic maneuvers to include climb attitudes.
Am I correct in my assumption or should I add one and will I have to add a fuel
pressure regulator too? I did add a pump but its purpose is to serve as a fuel
transfer pump from the auxiliary wing tanks to the main header tank. Thanks
