fuel pressure?
What is the best fuel pressure? I seem to have too much, blowing by valve. I am currently running two 94's and not happy me or the enging.
Are 97's better, if so or not who is the best rebuilder? Help. |

Re: fuel pressure?
If you are running an electric fuel pump you need to install a fuel pressure regulator, I'd set it at 2.5 lbs., that what I use on my single as well as multiple carb set ups with 94's.

Re: fuel pressure?
1 1/2 lbs is really all you need unless you've got a rubber tipped float valve that you need to change out anyway.
