A fuel return would have solved a lot of problems and ensured easy starting. But I couldn't think of a good way to hide it so settled for the electric fuel pump on its own.

On the pressure, seems like the original fuel pump is either 4 or 4.5 psi and the carb was 3.5 psi. Not a problem if everything was seating properly and the fuel pump wasn't actually putting out more pressure than it should. I never determined where my problem was coming from. Had lack of power trying to accelerate under a load when hot and it seemed to be flooding itself. The electric pump with pressure regulator solved everything which made up for my inability to resolve the mechanical problem properly.
