Did some research on the tnterweb last night. You are right Showcrop. There is use of schedule 80 threaded and schedule 120 with some use of glue joints, but the prevailing view is for PE pipe. I paid extra for 125 psi over 100 at the stores. However at 150-160 feet deep I have about 70 psi in head pressure plus 60 operating pressure puts me at 130 psi. Add back some built-in safety factor and i am at the limit. In retrospect I needed a smaller pump and then either 160 or 200 psi pipe.
Guess I will pull the pump today and pound on the bottom or wait longer for the well to fill so the pipe is more buoyant and easier to pull..
On another note, I was reading where a lot of well diggers don't use rope with their pumps out of concern it will deteriorate and break over time leaving a rat nest to where the pump gets stuck. Probably not as big an issue with 8 inch casing. Thanks.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
