<< What I would like to do is install a cheap-o electric fuel pump on a 
 momentary switch.  When I need to fill the carbs I will simply press the 
 button for the necessary amount of time (to be determined once it's all 
 installed and tested).  Once the carbs are filled I would then simply 
 start the car normally.  The electric pump is ONLY for filling the 
 carbs, nothing more!
 
 Suggestions?  Oh, and employ the KISS method -- Keep It Simple Stupid  :-p >>

Run a wire from the fuse box thru a 10 amp fuse to the positive side of the 
pump. You'll have to decide whether you want the key on first, or just wired on 
the bat + side. :D Install a switch in the ground wire side to the pump. 
Can't get much simpler than that. 

Don't know why your carbs are running dry after a week though, as my Notch 
can sit for over a month and fire right up (stock Solex carbs), and my Roadster 
2 / T-3 Heb is the same way (running Weber 34 ICTs). It's possible that your 
pump might be getting weak though. But then with todays gas, anything is 
possible. :O
