[Spridgets] Bugeye - Electric Fuel Pump Question

[Miniac7 at aol.com]

On my Bugeye, I have a Mr. Gasket electric fuel pump, mounted on top of the 
 left front fender well, adjacent to the carbs. After sitting dormant for a 
few  weeks, the pump appears to lose it's prime. Would I have better 
success of  the pump staying primed if I were relocate it to the rear, adjacent to 
the fuel  tank, making it a pusher instead of a sucker?
