trying to help another member thru carb issues, looking for a bit of help to ensure I didn't miss something Options

[1973-914-2L]

I am trying to help another member here get his car on the road ... Arkitect (David)

He was having issues with his 73 .. he is running dual IDF carbs with a Mr Gasket pressure regulator and a facet style fuel pump .. When I went to his house he stated that the passenger side carb would fill up and pour fuel out the top of the carburetor ..

I removed the carbs and brought them home .. his brass filters had debri in them .. the bottom of the fuel bowl had debri .. some of it metallic and magnetic in the bottom and the floats set at 14 and 20 mm at close and way off in drop ..

I cleaned them both out .. cleared the needle jet .. set the float levels at 10mm closed and adjusted the drop .. and sent them back over to him suggesting he do a quick squirt on the fuel pump and check flow and debri .. which he did and said was clear .. I also suggested a fuel pressure gauge to check on the Mr gasket little rotary regulator and he is telling me know that the fuel pressure is bouncing when he turns it on well over 6 lbs even though the regulator is set at 3 and the bowls are filling and over flowing again ... and that the pump does not ever stop ...

I'm thinking his regulator is shot out ... nut also looking for other input or thoughts on this ..

I should be heading over to his place in the next day or so .... so any help on this would be great ...

Thanks Steve
