jholmes217 65 Report post Posted June 13, 2011 Mach 1 Rider is right on the 6 psi for fuel pressure. I "fat fingere typod" my earlier post. If your fuel pressure is higher than 6, you either need to get a "stock" type fuel pump or get a good fuel pressure regulator. Here's a link to what I have. I have a Carter high pressure pump on my car, and without a regulator, it floods and won't run. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HLY-12-803/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LoneWolf2U 136 Report post Posted June 13, 2011 You will need to go thru the float level setting steps first to conferm they are at right level to start with or you will be chasing your tail forever. Unless your running something other than stock fuel pump, pressure may not be your issue. If you are, then an inline pressure regulator between the pump and carb may be required to keep it down to 6psi. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He says in an early post his pressure is at 7.5 or 8, so I think his fuel pump is giving him too much pressure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
