I own a 74 1.8 with a single Weber carb. I know its not the best set up but it's what I own. What is the best fuel pump to use for these carbs? I have an electric Facet pump on the car now. Car bogs down in the corners and will not idle or run smoothly when it gets hot. Plugs look good - fluffy tan/brown color. Mechanic said maybe pump is going bad, fuel starvation coming out of corners or when hot. Looking for opinions before I do the start to replace parts and maybe that will cure the problem. Thanks.

Many thanks to all for the replies. I had figured to start with the filter. Hasn't been changed for years.
Yeah the Facet makes an annoying sound. I've gotten used to it. In response to the one question asked, no I do not have a return line running back to the tank (if that is what was being asked?) nor do I have a pressure regulator installed. Always heard you did not need much fuel pressure for a single carb to work and I thought t he Facet would do the job. The fuel pump is located where the factory FI pump was installed. I will check the carb further as suggested by our friend in New Zealand. Didn't know those things existed. Thanks again. Ed |
