funny enough I found my webers flooded with the mechanical pump and with a regulator the flow was crap.I bought a modern equivalent of the old SU electric pump,but your right they are little expensive.You could try a return line like some of the downdraughts had to relieve the pressure on the needle jet when the bowl is full

I use to run an SU, god that ticking drove me nuts

sounds like I need to suck it and see what happens first before deciding and to check the condition of the needles...
