Ok, here is one for the engineer types. We are all familiar with what to do
when there is too little fuel pressure, but how do we solve the problem of too
much fuel pressure? Currently, I am putting off the purchase of a badly needed
fuel pump as I have no free cash. (between jobs) I have settled for the
restoration duration, on using a brand new electric fuel pump, installed but
unused by a PKPO (pretty knowledgeable) Unfortunately, this is providing about
4psi, which is overpowering my float valve. I can find no adjustment on the
little cube anywhere, but am thinking of an inline mechanical pressure
reduction to the 1.5 to 2.25 psi required for the Herald fuel pump. I have
attempted a voltage reduction to no effect. I have considered a restriction in
the line, and a "void space" in the line but am not sure what would work.
Ideas anyone? Fuel pressure has been quite a bugger with this carb- I
carefully rebuilt it, despite inability to locally acquire a rebuild kit(built
my own gaskets... had lots of spares for good parts) and finally got it
working. Think maybe a turn signal flasher inserted in the power supply would
work by making the fuel supply intermittent?
Ideas? Help? Anyone?

64 Herald 1200 Convertible which will be getting a new, correct pump soon, but
I need her running now!
