I guess what I'm asking is what would you replace first? I'm now thinking new electric fuel pump. I thought about installing a pressure regulator, but even if that solves the problem, isn't the fuel pump still operating incorrectly? I mean, shouldn't it cease to push gas once correct pressure is reached prior to actually starting the engine? I don't really want to rebuild the carb if I don't have to.

I asked around a couple of Autoparts stores today for their help. I had previously thought I needed quite a bit of pressure because of 471 blower, but both stores told me because it basically a carbed motor, that's not neccessary.

thanks, mike
