I have a 78 1500 that for the last two years I have had nothing but problems
with gas almost literally dripping from the carb.  I switched to a weber -
same thing  -- this last weekend I rebuilt the carb and put a fuel regulator
between the pump and the carb - I think the pump is pumping so hard it is
leaking out of the hose into the regulator - and I have it clamped down
pretty tight.  It is a mechanical pump.  Has any one ever put on an electric
gas pump?  If so what kind and where did you get it?  Has anyone had
problems with excessive pressure from the pump?

 

Thanks

Tom
