Not having problems, just opportunities.

So I went ahead and bought a fuel pressure regulator and gauge to check the fuel pressure being supplied to my carb and regulate it if need be. I used 3/8" NPT barb hose fittings on the in and out of the regulator. I used a 3/8" to 1/8" NPT reducer to mount the gauge. I ended up going with Permatex Pipe Sealant on all the hardware. I made sure not to put it on the first couple of threads so as not to get any in the fuel line.





I'll let you guys know if this causes any problems.

Here's a picture of the freshly rebuilt carb.
