it can prime but that does not mean it is actually much pressure behind it,
for instance my standard oe pump primed but was only producing 7psi instead of about 50 psi,my car started then stalled after few seconds .on removing the fuel supply hose it seemed visually to supply enough but when a gauge was fitted to the filter outpipe only read 7 psi .
fitted a walbro now and no issues.
