Refresh my memory please.

 

When you turn the key "on" and do not start the car the fuel pumps runs for a bit to fill/presurize the fuel system then times out. When the car is running the fuelpump just runs?

 

It has been AGES, and i mean three dogs ages since i worked on a sooby fuel system with a carb.

That's typically how thye work, yes. There is a fuel pump control unit in most of them (except the feedback EA82's) that handles this - it runs the pump for 1.5 seconds then waits for a tach signal to resume pumping.
