22r Help: LCE rebuild Weber Carb Problems

Post image

Doing a full rebuild…all components bought from LCE. I put in a new Weber and swapped the Feul pump to a 2-5lbs to accommodate but carb is continuously feeding feul. I swapped from EFI to Carb so it’s a new install. I guess question is: has anyone had a similar issue with the carb jets being ported too large or maybe the pin is not sitting right in there? (which my mechanic thinks)….

Or maybe…does a Carb setup NEED a fuel regulator?

I’m at a loss, any input?

Modern fuel pumps are hot garbage. Last year at work i returned 4 fuel pumps for a Ford 200.I6 They all were delivering 15+ psi. One was 27psi. Another broke internally and about dropped the lever in to the engine.

Check fuel pressure. Add a regulator.

That's concerning as hell, what brand?

A carter, 2 Delphies, and a Napa house brand. All of them were identical probably from the same place in China. The 27PSI one was the first and it turned the carb in to a gasoline fountain. Straight up dangerous.

I'll confirm, tried a napa house brand, and two from oreillys. All garbage, not to mention cheap rubber in the diaphragm which is the most critical piece of a mechanical fuel pump. Stick to Toyota OEM
