What’s the difference between a 50cc and 4500 pump?
The larger capacity 50cc pump is easily recognizable by the large pump arm with the encapsulated spring. In addition, the 50cc pump also uses a larger pump cam either a brown color (conventional carbs) or a yellow color (model 4500). A 50cc pump will not deliver the 50cc rated volume if any other cam is installed.
Can a 50cc pump be used on a foot brake car?
In this case, the larger pump capacity helps the transition. While this is a more popular change among foot brake cars, the 50cc is also sometimes a necessity with large plenum 2 X 4 tunnel ram applications especially when racing on a .400 Pro Tree.
Why does a split plenum street Manifold work?
Using a split plenum type street manifold allows the use of a larger than “normal” carb CFM. This is because the plenum volume is cut in half by the divider, so each cylinder only has half of the total plenum volume and carb CFM to draw thru.

Why does a Double Pumper carb bog down?
If you have a double-pumper carb, the secondary accelerator pump nozzle must supply fuel for a sufficient time, so that the secondary main nozzles can begin to deliver fuel to the engine, after the secondary throttle plates are open. Otherwise this will also cause the engine to bog.
