Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Electric low pressure fuel pumps

    Looking for peoples experiences with low pressure fuel pumps. For carburetor applications. Specifically, multiple carburetors.

    Im using a Carter low pressure/high volume pump rated at 3/4 psi. Im not really happy with it. I find it too loud and think it may be pumping too much, even though they dont recommend using a regulator with it. Have yet to measure the actual amount of flow the pump has.

    What are you guys running, recommend or had great/terrible experiences with?

    I've used Holleys, they had two versions for low pressure applications (Red & Blue for different pressures), they were noisey and mounted externally to the tank, but this can be reduced by mounting the pump in a way that it will reduce vibrations. I mounted mine to an old engine mount which reduced the noise a fair bit. AlthoughI should add this was 20 odd years ago and on a 70s Ford so I suppose the term noisey is relative to the vehicle/user/era. A regulator is recommended with these pumps.
