Mechanical Fuel Pump

[Fordication]

Ok so I tested my pump and it is not a steady flow. As a matter of fact it pumps fuel about every 3 seconds as my wife turns it over. Like on off off off on off off off. Not a steady stream until it pumps but it pumps and the motor turns over for a few secs than it pumps. So its a pulse but to me it seems like that's not right and I cannot find a video anywhere on the internet showing the flow out gas. Like FM there is no gd video anywhere.

the mechanical pump squirts in spurts, like the way blood spurts out in a horror movie, when someone gets their jugular vein cut. as I said in the other post, the FSM says it should pump about 1 quart of fuel in about 1 minute of cranking.

I am done. New carb. New hoses, new fuel pump, new filters. That leaves the timing gear. I do not have the time to deal with this BS.

What engine is it ?
Big blocks use a pushrod that can wear down causing reduced or minimal flow , small blocks use a cam bolted to the front of the camshaft the pump should push fuel with every second crank rotation or 1 full rotation of the cam would be a full cycle of the pump so if the engine is cranking normally it should be every second approx .
