Greetings,
I read through a ton of threads in the archives in search of an answer to my question....but I'm still unsure! Situation: I'm just about ready to start it up for the first time after rebuilding and installing the 2.0 in my 73 914. The CARBS are Weber 44 IDF's. The fuel pump is a Facet mounted up front under the tank. Fuel filter between tank and pump. Fuel lines are new metal brake lines in the center tunnel, 5/16 rubber hose otherwise. I understand that these carbs need about 3-5 psi. Question: Do I need a fuel pressure regulator? If so - where do I put it? If so - where do I get one?? A lot of threads suggested getting the CB Performance rotary pump setup. I'll keep that in mind but for now I'm using the Facet. Threads also commented that the Facet should be mounted on rubber bushings to reduce noise. I haven't done that...yet. Thanks for your help! I'm only days away from starting her for the FIRST time! Cheers, Nate Pictures are fun, right?! Here's one of the engine and carbs..... Attached image(s)
