48IDA: Fuel pressure
 
What would be the best fuel pressure for a 48IDA system ?

I assume 3.0 to 3.5 psi. Is this correct ?

Your advice is appreciated.

Best regards,
Walter

anything above 3 is a risk...I actually run 2psi on my system....above 3 and you can blow out the seals.

I run 2.5 on mine. Be sure to run a pressure return line to keep the carbs from leaking when you turn them off hot. Do a search on webers to see the past threads that talk about this phenomenon and its avoidance.

Matt, zimmy & CalMetal

Thanks for your advice. I ordered a fuel pressure regulator (from Pierce - already got it) and I installed a fuel return line in order to be on the safe side.
