[392 cruiser]

ok i know this has been asked before but here i go, again...i have a 392 hemi in my 70 raysoncraft i changed from hilborn stack injectors to 2x 750 edlebrock carbs just for simplicity reasons, 1/15 gears 11x15 prop 450 hp no biggie so far except i run out of gas after 10 seconds at full throttle i let it idle down it fills back up off i go as long as i dont go full trottle ...i have a carter rotary pump 75 gph mallorey fuel water seperator #6 feed lines ,do you think the pump is to small ??? maybe a holley blue label 120gph???to keep up

I have run T.R. intakes with duel carbs of a holley red with no problems. Whats your fuel pressure at idle and W.F.O. I would check that first befor changing any parts.

had a similar issue and I ran an Edelbrock carb. Very different set-up and circumstances, but same problem. Turned out it was in fact the fuel pump.

Try a boost referenced regulator like a Mallory.

i bought a aeromotive 1000 pump off ebay guess, ill give it a try in the spring

Dumb question. Did you check you float levels? If they are ok then you need a gauge in like to see where pressure is at.

Your set on the pump now. Just make sure you run a relay to the pump.
30 direct to battery positive
85 from keys hot wire (on position HOT) This is simply the hot wire.
86 to ground
87 to positive side of Fuel pump.
I use a Bosch 5 tab type Relay from Autzone or NAPA. The 4 tabs are more costly and the 5 tab does the same thing for less.

I would also check the floats. Even with the A1000 pump, if your floats are closing too soon your gunna have issues.

i bought the pump because
1 i changed to a bigger maroso style fuel water seperator instead of the fram bowl style
2 i could plug off the fuel almost with my finger so i know there was no pressure
3 carbs worked perfect with the old manuel style pump
4 so has to be the fuel pump filter combo i guess i will use your advise and use a relay

Same problem as mine...think simple...75 gph....half a gallon in half a minute. Pull the feed lines of both the carbs, stick them in a gas can, turn the pump on. In 30 seconds you should have at least half a gallon...and i am guessing you wont..if the float levels were that far off you probably would have made full throttle in the first place abd if you did, the motor would shut clean off. If there is no restriction in the separator and the fue will flow easily from the tank, check the voltage to the pump when it's running..if it's 12 volts, it's a pump problem...I have a holley black 125 gph....it was doing the exact same thing...pump had 12 volts, didn't get hot when running...took it over a minute and a half to pump a gal. It should have done 2 gal. a min. took it apart..the motor sounded fine..the gears looked ok...found the inlet screen sorta plugged..cleaned it and put it back together..it pumped half a gal. in 30 seconds. the pump has an internal regulator..spring and check ball..set at 5lbs..i can pinch it off with my fingers...ran the boat today..problem solved...

And as a note...the inlet screen is the filter for the pump...fuel filters and separators belong between the pump and the carbs with an electric pump...a manual pump will pull fuel better that it pushes...that's why it's on the motor..and electric pump pushes better than it pulls. It needs to be mounted close to the tank if possible and even minor restrictions on the inlet side will degrade it's performance.

Also If you don't run a return fuel system I suggest that you should. Keeps the fuel system at a constant flow instead of the pump stopping and restarting, the fuel pressure is exactly where the carb demands also cooling the fuel down as the pressure will cause the fuel to be hot.
There are times the carb will need ex. 10 lbs and your fuel dead end system can't supply if with a return system it will supply the needs . The return systems makes it easier to diagnose
