OK, I replacing a fuel cell with a stock fuel tank on a 914 that's got Webers. The stock tank has 2 ports at the bottom, one for feeding the engine and the other is a return. My understanding is that the return is not necessary for carbed engines..So, my question is how do I seal up this extra port on the bottom of the fuel tank? TIA..

sorry for the confusing explanation...
how do I paintbrush a picture and then post it onto the board? anyways, the regulator is topside above the engine sheetmetal and in the engine bay, but it is after the carbs and not before.... it then creates back pressure depending upon how open it is adjusted, and thus the fuel guage allows you to read the amount of back pressure...... a "T" in the fuel line for each carb and then the guage and then the regulator and then back below the motor to return through the tunnel.... oh.. I didn't mention this before. I'd recommend a filter before the first carb. hope this helps. brant |
