Ive just finished putting my engine together, but when i turn the fuel pump the engine gets flooded with fuel instead of returning to the fuel tank, its a N/A carb converted for turbo use, im using a Malpassi regulator and an MPI fuel tank. any thoughts? 1972 998 TURBO SLEEPER |

either the float valve as above, or the reg is overloading the carb.

Cheers Joe, what do you mean by the regnover loading the carb? I have a fuel pressure gauge between the reg and carb and it's reading 11 psi is that too high? 1972 998 TURBO SLEEPER |

Check ypu haven't accidentally fitted the carbs fuel line to the wrong connection, I accidentally did that once while checking fuel pressure. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:
Yep I agree with TD........ |
