Hey guys

I just put a Facet pump on my car. I was just wondering what PSI should the regulator be set to?? At the moment i have it on 2 PSI and im finding that when i put my foot down i get a huge hesitation to pick up?? i have tried leaning the mixture but hasnt done a lot??

Cheers

any help would be great

Some of those regulators are not real accurate on the markings. Turn it up until problem goes away then mark it.
Or borrow a gauge to see the pressure. I'd say 3psi should work.

I run a Facet/TRW pump on both cars with no regulator. No problem either with the twin HS4s or the 45 Dellorto. 8)

OK cheers

I did connect it up to a gauge before i had the regulator on and it was getting up to 10PSI
So i had to do something, its not acturely a FACET but a solid state anyway.
