I am going to purchase a new fuel pump to attempt to eliminate the fuel starvation issues I am having. I am looking at the rotary pump from CB Performance but they have a 3.5 psi and a 5.5 psi pump available. I think right now I have a Facet 4 psi pump. My question is if I should go ahead and move to the 5.5 psi pump if I am having problems with only 4 psi or is it more likely that the Facet is just not delivering even the 4 psi needed properly? I know Tomlinson says to go with 3.5 psi for Webers.

On weber carbs you do not want more than 4lbs, ever.
Most have good luck with the rotary CB pump, some here were looking at the pierberg pump that pelican sells and the best pump is likely the Holley red pump. If you are looking to do it 100% correct then you really need a pressure regulator in the fuel circuit. Malpassi makes a quality regulator. Also there is a screen in the fuel tank, if this is clogged and/or if there's lot of debris (rust) in the tank you will have flow issues. |
