After we got the entire engine running for the first time, it made it about 15 miles before it started flooding. Then after I rebuilt the carb, it made it about 12 miles, then started flooding. I don't want to rebuild everything in the carb again. My friend suggested that the 6lb fuel pressure may be blowing out my needles and seats. I tried adjusting them and that had no effect on the fuel level. It is an eddy fuel pump. I can get the #s for you, but it is a 6lb pump. I'm thinking I need a regulator, but then what is the point in having a eddy 6lb fuel pump, you know?
I use a Holley 750, then tried my 650. On the 650 it started to seep around the primary inlet junction, and at the needle and seat nut and bolt. That tells me it is probably too much pressure.
What are my options and is getting a regulator better than going with a stock pump?
