Inline Fuel Pump & carbs

[Paul Tholey]

The problem with this is that the needle valve that opens to let fuel in the
fuel bowl will be forced open with any pressure above 10 lbs.  If you
plumbed the set up this way you would need an adjustable fuel pressure
regulator that would be adjustable down to around 7 lbs.
