If you fit a electric fuel pump to a nova on carbs, do you need to fit a fuel pump regulator?

Si :confused:

iirc the carbs need a max feed of about 3psi, just check with somebody else first tho.

Any more than 3psi and well you can imagine what happens... :D

You need 3-5psi for carbs.

It depends which electric pump you use, some are low pressure pumps....
