    Default Twin 40s

    hey, ive recently got my 1400 (C14SE) built up and im running 40s on a mechancal pump (nova sports didnt have a problem before you tell me i need an electric pump!!) and im not sure how to go about plumbing in a return pipe, seems simple in concept but im sure you must have to throttle the pipe down to stop all the fuel just p*ssing down the return...? please help!!!

    as said in many places. just get a FPR to go between the pump and carbs.

    jobs a carrot


    NO not the 1.4 one. an aftermarket one.

    you put it into the feed on the way up to the pump, not after the pump. but it could be a bit of fun till its bled through
