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.
