Thread: Fuel Pump problems has anyone used this pump

Also Facet electric fuel pumps had low pressure models but all pumps i have seen lately are 5 psi plus andd these are likely to cause carby flooding at lower speeds and very poor economy.
I would rebuild the original pump if you can as the specifications are correct for the carby.

Yeah Ian I had noticed that when looking at many of the pumps one thing my carby doesn't need is to flood. It needs a rebuild as it is leaking fuel possibly though the o-rings.

My Series I has two Facets (has a 2nd tank) feeding a Holden carby.
When we were getting it sorted for Cooma 2008 the father-in-law suggested fitting a fuel pressure regulator because the Holden carby might not like the pressure from the Facets. Works great and have never had an issue with it.

Thanks Colin.
Which fuel pressure reg did you get and where did you get it ?
