Poor quality parts ruining the hobby for me

Thanks, pishta! That's good to know. I usually use the OEM mechanical fuel pump, but for the Weber carburettors I am reworking for my current project, I need high volume along with low pressure. (Just as with the old Stromberg 97s, Weber needle and seat requires max inlet pressure of 3-1/2 PSI.) So in order to avoid using a fuel pressure regulator, I bought a Carter electric pump that is supposed to have same max pressure as I need.

Happy Motoring,

Harry
