I think it's in the neighborhood of 8 PSI. You're gonna need a new pump or a regulator.

I run almost 7 PSI on my carb, but my engine probably requires a bit more fuel than yours does. Start of small, around 4 PSI atleast, and work your way up until you loose any bogging or have problems at your upper RPMs. Make sure you have a simple regulator and a accurate PSI guage
