ok i have a holley elec fuel pump that seems to heat up after about 20 minutes, it kills the boat and then about 3 miutes later it will run again, do i change it to manual or what???
Same reason I got rid of mine and went mechanical. The Holley's aren't meant to pull the gas, but to push it. If it has to pull the gas up and out of the tank it'll overwork it and overheat. Deadheading isn't the problem. I've run a Holley elec in my Falcon for quite a while, same thing as mentioned about running in a boat - closed needle valve when the bowls are full, but no overheating because its not pulling the gas. The gas is gravity feeding from the tank.
