Fuel pump

[Ron Pier]

Thanks for that Lynn. The pump I ordered has a pressure of 4-6 lbs. I've plumbed it through the original (Redundant) mechanical pump to make it look as authentic as possible.(which might have reduced the pressure at the carb?)

With the ignition on and pump running but without the engine running, there is no flooding of the carb. I only ran the engine for a minute yesterday as it was peeing down and I didn't want to open the roller door.

I've been on this job, on an off for over a week now. A major problem has been that my very nice and expensive Braded petrol hoses have succumbed to the effects of Ethanol. Despite buying the lowest to no ethanol petrol and using an additive anyway. So I've had the very awkward job of fitting Ethanol proof rubber hoses. Ron

Picture didn't download? Too big first time I guess. Ron

Ron, get yourself a Holley "Red" 2 port fuel pressure regulator. They vary in price a fair fit, depending on where you buy from. I think you will have troubles with 4.5 psi delivery? Maybe not, but I think so.
Red= 1 to 4 psi

Thanks Lynn. Next dry day I'll run the engine properly. I'm thinking that if the carb is not flooding while the engine is not running, it surely won't flood when it is running. Ron

Used a facet pump in the past with a “king” filter / regulator bowl with a gauge fitted, I was told to set delivery pressure to 3 PSI however I was using a stromberg carb. The information came via a hot rod emporium in Dorset

Well the test run with my Carter electronic pump was successful.

Richard, that will be the very helpful Jim at Royal Kustoms, quite near me:-
