I have an 85' MX7-235 with a Lycoming IO-540 I use only at start up especially cold. Full rich and full throttle setting turn on pump for a few seconds until flow is indicated then off. As I understand, it primes for cold start , clears lines if vapor locked , and will back up mechanical pump if fails. Just had my Dukes boost pump overhauled 600.00 at Oklahoma Air.
Best Regards
Ian
