Alan,
A source I have on hand ("Triumph TR-6 Performance" by John Fitzgerald)
states 3.5 psi., so this is what we are going to use.
I found a Porsche 911 fuel pump (made by Pierburg) that puts out ~4 psi,
and we are using a regulator next to the Webers to drop the pressure to
3.5 psi. This pump cost $60, so I like your's better already. Have you
tried hooking up the throttle linkage yet? I'd like to hear what people
have done for this, as our Cannon setup is a little too direct of a
connection. If the engine rocks at all, I'm afraid we'll get unwanted
throttle boost.
