I took his advice, considering when I move the tank to under the bed I will upgrade to an electric fuel pump and will definitely need the regulator then. I also went ahead and bought a cheap fuel gauge to see what pressure it is running.

Hopefully I can get the carb on and tinker some this weekend.

Yall have a good day!

I've hear that also. I have the same carb. Thing they want around 5 lbs of pressure.
I put a gauge inline. I doubt u need a regular though.
See what it's putting out first
