Re: [T3] Update on fuel pump adjustment

<x-flowed>Jim,

Out of curiosity, is the need for the T3 pump pressure due to the 
fuel injection?

i.e., 2180 with carbs don't need it because carbs don't need the 
pressure, but 2180 with FI needs the pressure to push through the 
injectors.

Do I have the theory right?
