Hi Craig. In your note you don't say whether the non flooding when stopped
is with ignition, hence pump, "ON" or not.
If it floods ignition (pump) ON, I would suggest checking the needle valves
in the bottom of the float bowl, and the bending of the lever arm. The
original pump was probably a (horrible) SU, again probably lower pressure
output than the one you have, therefore a pressure regulator, set low
(experiment with setting) should probably help.
Good luck.
Robin Berens.

> I have a '61 Bugeye with a 1275 engine in it. The previous owner had put
in an electronic fuel pump, and it appears to be flooding out the SUs. At
speed I can smell gas pretty strongly, but once stopped, no leaks spotted. I
assume it's pushing fuel out of the float bowls. Any one have an idea what
setting I should put a pressure regulator at when I put it in the fuel line?
