Sounds to me like the pump will be just fine. You replaced all the tubing from the tank to the motor - if I remember correctly? 1/4 inch to 5/16 isn't going to matter. If you were guzzling fuel like back in the day when I was racing - yeah. That might be a problem but you won't have that...

Well, I am on the "watch list" here.
I have occasionally had an opinion. And I have a bit of a political leaning as well. Sometimes I may have spoken "out of turn" according to the rules. I have a little juice in the TM section, but other than that I just tend to welcome everybody new...
