Subject: Boost Pump Switching

Here's one to consider:  For the momentary prime switch, use a double pole, double throw switch.  Wire one side as NO to activate the high boost for prime, and wire the other side as NC in series with your low boost switch.  This prevents both high and low boost being activated simultaneously -- which could happen if you accidentally bump the prime button while the low boost is on.  Dunno what would happen if both high and low are turned on at the same time, but I've posed the question in the past and nobody seemed to know.  Given the price of the pump, why not spend an extra buck on the switch and be safe?

[And no, other than priming, I've never used the boost pump on 2 ES's and 1 Legacy!  Took my last Legacy to dens. alt. of 19K once and all the boost pump did was make it run rougher.  Problem up there is not enough air, so more fuel pressure doesn't do much.]
