umm... carbs don't use a return line.. .at least none I've ever seen... and a 3lb pressure pump(which is all you should have on carbs) wouldn't create enough pressure for a return line anyway... wtf? is this something new? return lines are usually used for FI... where high pressure is sent to the system, and what ever is not used is sent back
do /6s have a return line whereas /4s(carb setup) don't? is that the difference? |
