    Good Deadhead Fuel Pump for 2.4

    I want to put my 2.4 on a different boat that doesn't have a return line. I mostly always use a blue holley with an Aeromotive return regulator. I have dead headed a red holley before, but dont like to. Is there any pump you guys have used deadhead, that is reliable? I really don't want to try to put the vaccum back on. Thanks

    A carter gerator pump will work reliably as a dead head. https://www.amazon.com/Carter-P4070-...79893960&psc=1

    Sounds like a carb motor, the Carter mentioned above is a good choice and much less noise than the Holley pumps.

    that's why I asked..

    but a blue holley won't support an efi.. I never ran a return with 7lb or less pump ona carb motor... usually 'bout a 4/5 pounder... WH/WMH'S.. never a problem.. fewer parts.. but that's jus me.
