fuel pump 87 pickup whoo,s
Ok so hears the deal finally got my new weber 38 carb installed. Idles good went for a short drive about 2 blocks and it died. Towed home and replaced the fuel filter. Started up ran for about 15 min idling rev it up and notice the filter is a clear one so i see the level drop drastically until i let idle for a min. So it has a stock fuel pump that is mechanical. I was trying to decide between mech or electric. If i got electric i am om a budget so i find a MR Gasket 4 to 7 psi pump and a Mr Gasket regulator. Heres the problem with this setup there is no place to hook up fuel return line to the tank. So can i cap off return line or what. Will a 3 line fuel filter work . Also Weber recomends 3.5 psi since i put bigger mains in it would i need the regulator anyways. Ideals or input anyone thanks

the electronic fuel pump for fuel injection is rated at 38 psi which is way to much for a carb. However i ordered the airtex intank at 5 to 8 psi 50 gph should be fine. will let you know when it comes in
