You turn the slotted screw on the top. Anti clockwise to slow the pressure but you need a guage to set it properly. I got one from the bay for a couple of quid.

Ditch,

Does your regulator have a brass plug on the bit next to the outlet? If so, I have a pressure gauge that'll fit in there nicely.



If you don't have the brass plug you'll have to get a gauge that goes in the fuel line, or use a connector like this.

Give me a shout if you want me to drive over and help you to set your regulator (any excuse to get the car out!)

many thanks.

david my regulator looks like yours but with simple in and out pipes. i will have to get the piece like the link. i will give you a call when i get it and many thanks for your help.

i'm away this weekend so i may not get the pump installed, i'm just about to fit the air box i made.

many thanks ditch

I do not think you have to be that precise.

All you need is adjust so that fuel starts to leak by the float needles then back the screw off 1/4 to 1/2 a turn and monitor things for a while.

The last thing you want is insufficent pressure at full load !
