A question about the dark side

<< < (2/2)

air-cooled or diesel:
why not get a regulator @1-4psi? carb float needs a low psi; im not sure but your 5-7psi pump may just push float down and flood carb(at below 70mph), a 1-4 regulator should compensate (?). you ll have low pressure at low speeds, the 4psi may be a limit for higher speeds.or maybe turn that regulator to 4.5 low and see. comes to mind a return to tank would be a +.

srgtlord:
I ended up restoring the stock electric fuel pumps and installed the bypass pressure regulator. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!!! No more issues pumping all the fuel out of the tank!!! Drove it like this for about 4 months. Hopefully this will help someone out.

 Unfortunately(Or fortunately depending on how you look at it :D ) I sold the car for a measly $500. I just grew too tired of having to replace items the previous owner neglected. I was not prepared to dump another $2500 into replacing the top , fixing the windshield rust, and getting the car repainted.
