facet solid state pump through regulator (what setting ,dont know)
to vauxhall varijet carb

will this cause probs because not running at engine revs ,will it overcome the carb ,flood it ??

its manta engine ohc

or do i need interupter pump etc

Should be fine, we ran a single carb on a Facet carb pump (blanked off the mech pump "hole" ) without a regulator with no problems at all.
