Fuel pump wiring Options

[fall-apart-dave]

OK here's where I get really dumb. As some of you know, I'm halfway through a 914 conversion in my 1969 VW Baja Bug. The type 1 VW engine I took out had a mechanical fuel pump fitted in the engine. The 914 replacement engine is running twin carbs instead of the injector system, and as you all will know has an electric fuel pump rather than a mechanical one like the T1. My question to you is this.

How do I wire in the fuel pump? My initial idea was to wire it in with the + side of the coil so that it kills when I kill the engine. However, this would mean that the fuel pump is running whenever I turn on the ignition, which I fear might flood the engine unless I start the engine immediately. Because the T1 fuel pump was mechanical it only pumped when the engine was turning. Does the same apply to the electric pump? If so, how do I wire it up so that it only pumps when the engine is turning?

Cheers guys!
