I bought an electric fuel pump and working on the installation. In your setup, do you leave the mechanical pump inline or did you remove it / or by pass it with the electric pump.

Scubaking also used an electric fuel pump but I don't know his set up left the mechanical pump in line with the electric fuel pump. He said he toggles the electric fuel pump on / off manually as needed if the engine sputters. So I am guessing he leaves the mechanical pump in line.
