Zephyr's got the percolation blues (HELP!) (link)

[Tom Wells]

Gene,

>Do you have the plexiglass inspection hole plugs?
No, solid plugs. I set the levels idling with the solid plugs out.

>fuel pressure rising enough to over power the needle and seats.
That's why I changed the regulator. Same 5psi reading on the gauge.

>Do you have a way to put a temp. fuel pressure gauge on it located somewhere that you can see it while driving to see if thats what its doing?
I can try that.

>Do you have a return line on it by chance?
No return line. Both the pump and regulator are designed to work without a return. At least according to Aeromotive LOL

>Does your regulator have a vacuum port for increasing fuel pressure as needed.
No vacuum port.

>How are you setting your fuel pressure. With just the pump running engine off or engine running?
Tried both ways - engine on and engine off. Same result for pressure (5psi) and same percolation.

Thanks for the response - no offense whatsoever.

I wonder if I need to lower the whole engine bay temp somehow.

Tom

PS: Almost forgot! When the percolation starts, the fuel pressure goes to zero.
