Dmopower,
Post #26. The more you post on this, the more you show lack of knowledge:
- fuel level can rise [ seep ] for other reasons than trash. Improperly machined fuel inlet seat, deformed needle, needle a sloppy fit, excess pressure & leaking gasket can all cause the problem.
- for the purposes of the engine in question, & I am assuming a mech engine driven fuel pump, the problem with a 12 psi pump is the pump, not a regulator reqd to fix a faulty pump.
- no, the tangs do not bend on the floats from excess pressure. The fuel level simply rises...& the carb floods. Once the fuel rises above the float, you now have the weight of the fuel pushing DOWN on top of the float as a counter force.

Fair enough let's approach this another angle. Explain why the carb still seeps after installing a regulator and set it at 5 psi? Then only after adjusting the float tab (as indicated by dozens of other users who are reporting 10 plus psi at the carb under acceleration does it stop leaking.)

This is downright laughable. "Once the fuel rises above the float, you now have the weight of the fuel pushing DOWN on top of the float as a counter force."

The carb still seeps after installing a regulator because??????
