Fair enough Dan,
Point is, that many listers make asumptions the configuration of the fuel
path from tank to inlet manifold is "standard". It seems to be the pump is
extremely powerfull, so the jets can stop it. The regulator is an extra MG
never would chosen for ($$$).
Good for you it is solved now....
Cheers,
Hans

Subject: HS4 overflow problems Update
As you may remember my woes listed below.
Well I checked everything I could think of as well as things others
mentioned on the list. Everything pointed back to the mechanical pump
putting out too much pressure. I put an adjustable fuel regulater between
the pump and the carbs (set it to 3 lbs.)...problem went away.
I want to thank everyone on the list for their help and advice. I still
can't believe I didn't get at least ONE smart A*s response. (Yes...I mean
you Ed) :o))
