- Does it say what carb. setup that is for? I recall reading (but I can't for the life of me remember where) that the 2-4 psi setting is correct. I recently was having a problem of too much pressure a

- The Spitfire 1500 competition manual does say the 3.5 - 5 PSI, but they also are talking about quite a few modifications to the ZS carb in conjunction with this. Plugging holes with epoxy, using mod

- FWIW, the specification for the original AC mechanical pump, as given in the Herald, Vitesse 6, Spitfire (through Mk.3) manual is 1.5-2.5 lb./sq. in. A "prepared" engine might require a bit more, but

- Hi Mark, I had (have) the same problem. (HS4s flooding float chambers) I replaced all the (usual) suspect parts to no avail. A fuel pressure regulator (purolator) dialed in to the lowest setting did
