Will a intank fuel pump work with carburetor?

No, an in-tank fuel pump is not designed to work with a carburetor. Here's why:

* Pressure: In-tank fuel pumps are designed to deliver high pressure fuel to an injection system. Carburetors need a low-pressure fuel supply.

* Flow Rate: In-tank fuel pumps typically have a much higher flow rate than what a carburetor needs. This can lead to flooding or fuel system issues.

* Return Line: In-tank fuel pumps often have a return line to regulate fuel pressure, which a carburetor system does not utilize.

* Mounting: In-tank fuel pumps are designed to be mounted inside the fuel tank, while a carburetor system typically uses a separate external pump.

What you need for a carburetor system:

* External Fuel Pump: You need a mechanical or electric fuel pump specifically designed for carburetors.

* Low Pressure Fuel Line: The fuel line should be compatible with the low pressure output of the pump.

In short: Using an in-tank fuel pump with a carburetor system will likely cause problems and damage your engine.
