One difference, however, is the fuel pressure rating. The old one coming off the car states 2.5-4.4 psi and the new one states 5.5-9.5 psi.> > So I don't know, if one does go electric, and gas is being delivered in good supply, it is hard to word this, like how does the pump know when to back off or too lay in more gas?

The left carb seems normal. Should I suspect something internal in the right carb is acting up, or something blocked in the left or shall I assume the new electric pump psi is too much for the Corvair? Do I need to located a lower psi model?> > Chris "the fuel pest" Mann> 69 monza vert #0425 110/pg lemans blue (but is red) black int, white top (wish it were blue) (wish it would run :-) ha. )
