Re: pressure?

My rule of thumb with FP:
Key on engine off 36PSI
Engine running @idle 36/40PSI
Wot set 42/48 PSI (lower longer pump life)
Shut off after running..FP should go to Zero in about one hour Estimate.

Anything else in my opinion needs looking at......

Without the engine running and just priming the pump 46 PSI key on seems high.

Re: pressure?

Mine goes to 46 with key on primed and runs about 43-45 at idle
and it does not run rich, block learn is 125-132.
