Fuel pressure

[polara383500]

Ok installed a new avs2 awhile back. I have got around to driving it cause if working hrs. Car idles great but as soon as you put it in gear it’s stalls! I heard that it could be dumbing to much fuel! I put on a fuel pressure gauge and its a stock pump and it’s reading 11 to 12lbs and they should only have 6.

Are you running a stock fuel pump? You can add a pressure regulator and set it to the pressure you want.

Yeah it’s stock but it’s high. I’m gonna get one!

If All Else Fails.
O.K. This is a Dumb Guy Solution from When Datsun 240Ks were New.
Used to Install C.D. Ignitions back in the Day and Always had Problems with the 240Ks.
Too Much Fuel Pressure to be Able to Lean Them Down
It was weird, Oil Pressure around 15 P.S.I. at Idle, Fuel Pressure about 15 P.S.I. at Idle.
O.K. what we did was to Cut into the Fuel Line Either side of the Fuel Pump & Recirculate the Fuel.
This Relieved the Pressure on the Carby.
I'm sure in this Day & Age there Must be a Smarter Solution But it Solved our Problem Back Then.
