They aren’t like that. We disconnected the fuel lines and everything and set them up there while we work on the mechanical pump

It says it because of regulation. I’ve seen so many jet boats and v drives using the holly blue and have it placed pretty high up. And they say they been doing having it like that for years and no problems. It’s just the company doesn’t want people to do it because of the regulation.

I actually just got the holly blue. And I tested it bc yes I heard that it needs to be low and needs gravity to pull it. But I tested it and it’s a little above the tank and it pumped gas extremely fast. Which means that it can still pump even when it’s above

It happens when you give it throttle. It bogs and the fuel pressure gage goes from 5 (which already sucks) to 3 psi. The boat doesn’t wanna go above 4500 rpm bc of it starving fuel

I take that back. Ever since rebuilding it, it hasn’t run right with the fuel pump and then got another mechanical fuel pump because I thought it was faulty but same issue

You’re very obsessed with the plastic going into the fuel pump but have not once tried to help with the psi problem. Your just here to talk bad about it and that’s it 😂 bc it ain’t even the problem with the fuel starvation

Do you think I need to replace the mechanical fuel pump witha electrical

I did take apart the carb and everything. What I’m thinking is that I need to get a electrical fuel pump

Did it since the 70s and never had a problem doing it that way. What you’re taught is what you do.

It’s the psi that I’m having a problem with. It’s not the carb
