Is this with the original mechanical fuel pump or is there an aftermarket
electric one in place? Some folks replace the mechanical with an inline
electric pump and while that works, it can often times be too powerful for
the even the floats to keep shut down after filling the bowls. A pressure
regulator set to around 3 pounds, sometimes less, takes care of that.
