Carter electric fuel pump

Do you shut it off and wait for the engine to go through the full bowl of fuel and stall? 🤨

I do like it spliced into ignition switch (wire to fuel gage). Then I cannot leave it on when I park the car.

I put my switch in a dash hole blank next to the key switch. I also used a momentary switch, so these is no chance of leaving it on. I wired it to the hot side of the ignition switch (fused with a 10 amp fuse). While my pump is not a carter, it is a 6v pump and it is great. Love it for the prime when I don't start my car for a few weeks.

Excellent idea Joe, adding the momentary switch. Do you know the brand of your pump?

This is the pump I bought Oct 2018. I think I installed it in early 2019. It has worked well all these years, so I can't complain. Since it is a DC pump it doesn't care about polarity. Just ground the brown wire and run the black to the switch. Sorry about the long link.
