electric holley fuel pump ?????

[BigFrank]

i put a holley pump and regulator on my truck and when you shut off the truck there is still pressure on the line and pushes gas past the float and floods the engine over runs fine at wide open throttle but stumbles when i let off the throttle and wants to load up and stall    the gauge on the regulator is  at 3 psi     i dont know if the gauge is in acuratte or the wrong one ere what      ???or   i was told to take the gauge off and plumb that back in to the suction line before the pump  ??  i m pretty shure it isnt a carb issue as this one ran my bbc perfectly and was new then    thanks for the help

Just cause the carb ran fine on yer bbc don't mean its set up right for this motor.

should be running about 6 psi frank, sounds like you have a float sticking

soo if i turn the mix screws closed it still  does it shouldnt it stop runnin if there closed  the carb was stock out of the box edelbrock  do i need a return line or not ?  either way i got a new holley sittin here was thinkin about swappin them and see if it still does it     and i know it should be around 6 psi for a carbed engine thats what makes me wonder whats going on since i turned it down and no change

return lines are usually for higher volume stock electric pumps, i have never ran one, and i have electric's on my car and truck (car has 2 pumps).

edelbrock says the screw's on the front should be adjusted individually and set at the highest rpm, i dont think they have anything to do with the gas running over?

i prefer a holley, i had a couple edelbrock's and the buuterfly's would rust seized. always had air cleaners on them also.

Get the holley on there.

i think this gauge is wrong  i fired it up and backed the pressure down some more and ran good at o psi  on the gauge ill take the other carb with me for shure tho next time i go out to a bog tho  thanks for the info  im glad i didnt go hackin on my lines

i wish i could use a mechanical pump but the cam has no lobe for it  soo im stuck with this for now   i dont have a lack of fuel just too much i think i got it sorted out for now

frank,they send a vid with the edlelbrock carbs when you buy one.tell's all about the carb,and setting for it.heres the link.hope it helps ya out, with it. just trying to help ya. it covers everything about the carb.

[BigFrank]

cool that linked me up to some more info  im gonna mess around with it tommorow after work so i dont wake up the neighbors now   hahah

[randycrane79]

yeah the only schooling ya need to know is that edelbrocks are not a performance carb they are a gas milage carb if i was you id use your holley and set the preasure to 6 psi i gave all my edelbrock carbs away and only run holley except my new motor and its tbi for now till i blow it

[BigFrank]

soo   its not a built motor  stock    L T 1 from a buick  roadmaster  with a slight cam in it ''wink wink ''  but nothin radical  ive had people tell me ya cant pay them to run a holley and vice versa so i guess its a personal preferance thing either way thanks for the help and info                      belive it or not ive had it out 2 times and havent  burned about 9 gallons of fuel
