[Spits] Weber DGV Questions

What brand regulator did you put on and where did you get it.  I have
exactly this problem and have always felt it was too much pressure from the
mechanical pump.

Thanks much

I'm running a stock mechanical pump with a inline type regulator (no
return line).  I run the regualtor at about 3psi, and this seems to
work well.   The DGV doesn't need much, but is sensitive to
overpressure forcing the needle valve open and running rich.  In this
application, it is unlikely you will ever run it lean, so best to err
on the side of lower pressure.
