Measuring internal pressure

[anto]

No need to be concerned about that i just hooked it up last night, set it to 43.5psi at 1k engine rpm (give or take 0.1/2 psi) and took it off again once i was satisfied it was ok.

It's actually supposed to be 43.5psi @ 2K engine, or 1K pump.

My guess is it will be clattery, your cold start knob won't effect anything once it's running and in an effort to quiet it down you'll retard the static timing . I found this out the hard way, I didn't set it too high but after I rebuilt the pump I ASSUMED the pressure would stay the same......wrong.

It was around 50psi at high idle (1100rpm), I retarded it to quiet the marbles and starting it became rediculous.

Are you positive it is not supposed to be 43.5psi at 1000 ENGINE rpm?

Can anyone confirm?!

This is where i got that info;

Sorry about that your right , MAN I  gotta quit going by memory .

I've done this lot's of times so I don't know what I was thinking .......possibly I need to check it again and make sure I did it right.

I deleted that post to avoid confusing people later.
