hi, just wondering if any can help? iv built a turbo a-series engine, it starts but then cuts out after about 10 seconds. Im using a n/a carb modfied for turbo use with a standrd metro needle( not sure if this is the problem). When running it will rev up but then it dies as if its not getting fuel. after a while of tring to start it the engine floods?. Also when i take the plenum chamber off it has a puddle of fuel in it. can any one help please!!!!!

What's your fuel pressure set to? It should be 3.5psi.

Have you got your fuel and regulator boost signals the right way round?

thanks for the replys, iv checked the plumbing and it all seems fine. the regulator is second hand and iv just left it set as it was so im not 100% sure what pressure its at. I presumed it would be set sum where close. I take it the pressure needs to be spot on?
