I know the type 3 pump spec is higher, really 5 psi, but I really don't think it 
will make ANY difference. The carb only cares about the level in the bowl, 
and the bowl will fill until the float valve shuts it off. 1.5 psi against the area of 
the float valve won't make any discernable difference.

The delivery capacitys of the two pumps are the same, according to Service 
Without Guesswork.

Come to think of it, the only reason for the higher pressure might just be so 
that there is enough pressure to activate the fuel crossover valve, which most 
of these engines no longer have anyway.
