My "new to me" (coming up on a year new-to-me, anyway) RV-4/Lyc IO-360-B1B, has takeoff and landing checklist placards. Both call for the boost pump to be "ON" for takeoff and landing. A checklist I have from a Piper Arrow/IO-360 also calls for the "Fuel Pump" to be ON for takeoff and landing.
Ok, so far, so good. But...
I've been reading all those Pelican Perch articles on AvWeb, and the author John Deakins talks about the boost pump NOT being on for takeoff or landing, that it can flood the engine. I've never seen that happen, but what-the-heck anyway?
Which is correct, Boost Pump ON or OFF for takeoff and landing?
