I am installing a 2.0 engine with Weber 40's fitted. This is my first experience with a carbed engine. It came to me with the fuel block/pressure regulator pictured below. It was marketed or made by PMO. It has a broken fuel barb and I need to repair or replace it.
My question: Is this a good system? It is "1 in/4 out", 2 out to carbs, 1 out to gauge, 1 out to tank. The return to the tank regulates the pressure with a hose clamp that restricts the outflow to the tank. Should I fix or replace this or is there a better system. Haven't checked to see what pump I have yet. It has been moved up front. Haven't talked to PMO yet either. Thanks for any advice. Expect more questions in the next week or two as the install proceeds (wiring? breather hoses?). Stay tuned. Attached image(s) |

somebody please explain. how could restricting the flow BACK to the tank, lower the fuel pressure? the 35psi at the pump would be 35 at the incoming side of the gauge. i can't remember what i paid for that rotary from cb, but it was pretty resonable. i'll go to their site and see what they get for them these days. i see, that was the link to the site. $42.95, that and some premium hose is cheap insurance. keeping the filter up stream from the pump is some what important. i'm going to install a petcock upstream of the filter. with where i intend to put my pump, it will be lower than the tank. changing the filter could be a bit gassy.
