A carb can do it. I pulled two pumps from 80s subarus that ran intermittent and nearly siezed...carb only.No problems. my latest was 21 years old and I decided to change it..barely worked for a bench test. that means <1psi to atomize, after bringing it to the engine...and the displacement has to be small on real carb 3 degree cams...and a pressure for cold starts in a burst, as the engine carb timed picks it up very fast. I also used to run alot of v8s with the pump driven off the cams...they all had problems with leaky diaghrams, meaning...not even 5psi to run a v8..and they still ran. Slobs, but ran. There is fuel cell concepts that help keep pressure down for same chore as well. Injection is satan.

Ideas like yours are excellent and never bad opinioned by my own experience of unbelievably miraculously impossible running engines according to a moron like me with 50psi injection and "not enough".It has got to change..love to see questions like this, they can be answered.
