[Spridgets] Facet said I need to know what my carbs require to order

[rrengineer.mike]

Just buy the lowest pressure (1 -4 PSI) Facet pump.  Works like a charm on my single HIF 44 carb setup on my 1275 Bugeye.  No need for a pressure regulator and it'S cheap too if you buy it through Aircraft Spruce. Mike MacLean

    You need a nominal 3 PSI. If your fuel pressure is too high, the
      pump will overwhelm the float valves, and cause flooding or
      overflow. Most of the major auto parts stores either sell, or
      sometimes loan you a pressure/vacuum gauge that will allow you to
      measure your fuel pump pressure. 

    
    Cheers,

        2-3 PSI?

        
        I'm sure 5 would be more than adequate.
