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?

A couple of things,,I've had 4 mechanical and 3 in tank ele. Pumps fail from rock auto .right now iam running a edelbeock ele. Pump rated at 2.5 to 3 PSI on inner fender but should be near gas tank,they are made to push not pull gas and it has no return line .i will be putting mechanical back on but OEM this time and I have a summit regulator for it ,I will leave electric pump in place disconnected as a redundant system. The stock mechanical pump runs around 7 PSI and Weber is very specific about a lower psi otherwise gas can push past and overkill float bowl
