Will finally be getting round to doing my twin carb kit install this summer between festivals… I have a few questions: 1) do the barb fittings and blanking plugs need ptfe tape to seal properly ? and if so any special type… 2) I bought a malpassi as I didn’t like the look of the quality on the pressure regulator I have fitted. Is that the preferred way to go or should I use the huco ive been hoarding and remove my facet pump from down below? 3) I don’t have a fuel pressure gauge at the moment, can anyone recommend a suitable set up to use please ?
Facet pump is 4psi and I'm using it with an unbranded rotary knob type of regulator I just dont like the look of at the moment. Similar in apperance to this. Huco is supposed to be a low pressure ... 2.1 psi suction pump supposed to be mounted in the engine bay... wasnt sure on having a pump positioned there so had a malpassi as a back up. I recall a little about a fitted malpassi leaking at Techenders so wondered it the fittings were taped or just bare ...
The tapered fittings on the Malpassi needed taping up. You can put a low pressure pump in without any regulator if you are sure the pump is producing about 2psi..
