I think you mean
630-290-3160 Google says "closed forever" BUT
I called the number and guess what? Gary Connelly answered the phone. Had a nice chat, he is still supporting the entire line so. good call!

you will find that today's carbs for the most part of them run very well without a pump. maybe for the larger engines a pump will help.

They ran pretty good back in the early 60s too, but I still prefer the incredible stability and repeatability the pump/carb system provides. The pump makes a pretty good smoker too.
