<VV> fuel pumps

[Mel Smith]

My '65 corsa 110 has been running erratically lately. Somewhere along the 
line someone installed an electric fuel pump, but the fuel lines in the 
engine compartment are still routed through the mechanical one. I know the 
pump was instlled prior to the mid-80's and it is a small generic unit 
labelled for use in an import car. Gas only seems to be trickling from the 
line when I turn on the pump with the engine off, and the right hand 
carburetor bowl didn't have any gas in it when I opened it, despite the pump 
having been on for awhile. Why is the mechanical pump still in the engine? 
You can't get anywhere in the car without turning on the electric pump, so 
are both pumps neede to meet the needs of the engine? I am considering 
re-routing the lines so that they dodn't go into the mechanical pump, but I 
don't know if the electric one will be enough.
