It has a transfer system to suck fuel back over to the right side but as you know you need a bit of fuel on the right side to begin with to be able to get enough suction.
I've seen the pics inside. With 7 dots the hump isn't big enough to not allow some of the fuel to go back over I'd think. I've seen the tube also on the left side which should bring some back so i don't know. Not saying this is a myth, but more time, more primes?
