Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't there be a return line? I would think that the pressure that the carb is not using would be pushed through the return line, therefor relieving the pressure on the other two lines.

Re: fuel pressure regulator

Teflon tape isn't really a good thing to use on fuel fittings, but it still should have worked. Try the paste instead.

Re: fuel pressure regulator

I was talking about the fittings requiring a special seal. Not your setup.
