Ren,
I have the fuel line DV spoke of. I have a (blue) Holley pump and it is regulated down to 6psi at the tank and a second regular at the Webers down to now 2.5psi. If I unhook the fuel line at the webers I still get a fuel squirt farther than one foot. Maybe the ID of your fuel line is the culprit. Maybe just not enough volume to maintain good presure. Mine is the 3/8's ID not OD. and I also have two fuel lines running forward to the carbs.

It very well could be a starvation problem with line size. I would try the gas in a bucket first, outside as DV says. You can't afford a fire, believe me, I know the hard way! It is snowing here in Dallas and colder than heck, but you do not want to warm up the whole neighborhood.

Also is it possible that your pick-up line in the tank is not completely submerged and thus causeing it to spiratically suck air?

Damn, this should not be this hard to figure out. Adjusting four Weber carbs on the same engine, yea Ok, but not a fuel problem. This still baffles me.
