<x-flowed>Now that I've had time to think about it, I must agree.  Maybe I need to 
pay attention to EXACTLY how long it is 'tween starts ;-)  I've been 
known to have a VERY crappy memory...just ask Brian F. :-D

The pump doesn't seem to have an issue feeding the carbs so I don't 
think it's, uhm, under-powered (is that the right term?).  Here are 
pictures of my pre-painted fuel pump when I took it apart to clean the 
insides and to check that everything inside was still good:
