Can anyone confirm the flow rate expected with no pressure applied?

Have I got myself a duff pump?

I=92m ready to get the engine fired up when this is sorted so any help 

would

be appreciated.

Mike,


I managed to conduct some tests on Saturday and the results are (electric
pump only):


Max pressure with no flow = 4psi


Maximum flow unrestricted (@ entrance to mechanical pump and also last
carburettor) = 90 l/h


Flow at 2.2 psi =  50.2 l/h. 


It looks as if you've either a constriction/obstruction or a faulty electric
pump. 


It seems worth trying to measure output from pump outlet then progressing
along the line maybe? 


Hope this helps


Best Regards
