I have an electric pump in my 914 that looks like this. What's the circled part in the pic below?
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1279.photobucket.com-15000-1378609497.1.jpg) I'm not familiar with this type of pump. How do I tell what it is rated at and the psi adjustable? |

You only want 3 psi for carbs. So the gauge you have if fine for telling you if you have enough pressure. It sounds like you may need to add a regulator. Much above 4psi will push you needles and seats open causing your float levels to go high and your car to be rich. You need to regulate that pump down to 3psi
