Fuel Pressure Regulators

I had two brand new fuel pressure regulators fail while I was working on getting my 1910 cc engine to run correctly. Something inside inside fails, shuts down the fuel flow so the engine would not start.

I threw them away and got a Mr. Gasket electric fuel pump at Pep Boys that was set up for 3 PSI. bolted it to the right side of the tub to pick up the fuel line as it comes out of the tunnel, then put in a cannister fuel filter on the back wall of the engine bay before running the fuel line through a Y block to the Webers. It works great.

The Mr. Gasket fuel pump (which is green by the way ) is manufactured by Facet, a well known maker of fuel pump products both automotive and heavy industry. The whole thing is inside a sealed plastic shell with only two wires to hook up. I think I paid something like $30.00 for it. Well worth the money.
