Hi guys. Changed the fuel hoses over. The S ticks quickly for .3 secs then it ticks once every 5 secs or so. I am presuming It's keeping pressure upto the carbs There's no leaks. I am presuming its normal.. I haven't started it yet.

SU Pumps only tick when fuel pressure drops. That is the way they work.
