I swapped props on the 2180cc VW Friday (both Sterbas)adding 2 more
inches of pitch (54x50 -> 54x52). In back-to-back tests, the added
pitch gained me 7 mph (TAS) at WOT at 9500' while dropping 90 rpm. At
7500' and my favorite 2180cc VW rpm of 3150, I gained a whopping 14 mph

Have you tried leaning out a little? I have a friend that was having that
problem on a C150 and it turned out that when the economizer activated at
full power the mixture was running too rich.

I ran two pumps but that was for wing tanks to keep the header tank full.
Gravity off the header tank should be your last resort.

You are correct. It will not start on the ground without pumps. It also
probably would not start in the air with no pumps. What I said was it continued
to run with no pumps. The facets are reliable as many of us have proven.

At least for my plane, with 5gal in the tank it won't even start without a
pump (I tried, right after I hooked the EFS-2 up - No dice. Fuel present
all the way through, and it runs on starting fluid, so that (IMHO) leaves
insufficient pressure). Given that there is only about 8" of vertical

I'm hesitant to rely on the 'facet' type electric pump - they look kind of
flimsy & if the pump stops the engine quits...
This statement is not necessarily true. Back in the early days of my KR2S
flying with my EFS-3 Corvair engine I had a complete pump failure due to a
broken ground wire. B

The Facets are more reliable than they may appear, and are dirt simple.
The stock mechanical pump is certainly less reliable.
Having said that, you

I'm using an EFS-2 and need a fuel-pump.
My engine is an 1835 VW with accessory-case & single-plug heads, and I'm

tank, directly behind the panel.
