I use one.
I have a pressure regulator from Holly for my Weber carbs. A fuel pump generally puts out more then the carbs can use. (about 5 lbs) In a street to medium "built" engine of our size more isn't always better. It is a small engine and can get bogged down easy. I have mine set at three pounds of pressure. Set the pressure lower for slightly better fuel economy. But decide what pressure to run at then tune the carbs to the pressure. (ie jets and tubes) That way you avoid a rich or lean situation. |
