<VV> Turbo Carb leaking very bad!

[Mark J. Murphy]

This reply brings up a question I've had for a while.  What do those of you
who run regulators use as a regulator?  When my YH was flooding hellaciously
I put in an off-brand adjustable pressure regulator (it was chrome, it had
to be good, right?) to attempt to nurse it along.  It almost worked, but I
knew the carb had issues.  When I gave in and had the YH rebuilt I left the
regulator inline, but found that it starved the engine for fuel right about
the time that the boost was getting juicy.  I'm sure it was a flow issue
because of the way it behaved.   I finally replaced the regulator with a
straight pipe and the problem disappeared.  I run a stock fuel pump, and so
far have had no leak issues, but would like to know what works for others in
case I get the itch to experiment again -- spring is coming...  :)
Thanks!
