Gradual fuel pressure decrease.... Why?

Hi all,

After 5 years parked and an engine transplant, the car starts and runs great, 3psi on the regulator to start, after about 5-10 minutes (or less) running fuel pressure gradually drops (over several minutes) to nearly zero.

Running 44 idfs. Fuel system comprises tank>filter>pump>regulator/gauge>carbs.

I replaced the filter and the pump and there was no change.

Are symptoms consistent with a bad regulator? Could storage have gummed it up or caused it to malfunciton?

Thanks, Dave
