Fuel Pump PSI for carb motors

[aggieangler09]

If I were to install an electric fuel pump on a carb motor, what PSI should I regulate the pump at?

Evinrude 200XP
E200STLENS

6 psi.

An electric fuel pump jury-rigged in a boat is neither recommended nor safe. Most are not Coast Guard approved or have a safety cutoff feature.

Use the factory pump system or convert to a pre-mix fuel pump, but don't try to rig up an electric pump system.

what is the major concern with an electric pump? Is it a mechanical/motor safety issue, or is it a personal safety issue?

Thanks for the replies
