holley regulator?

[ts racer]

when i set the nos fuel pressure (holley reg) at 61/4 i made a pass and the plugs were very lean i checked the fuel pressure again and it was at 5lbs( flowed with holley 73 jet)

has any body had problems with these ??

The first time I used mine I had the same problem. I had checked it a few times in the garage & again once before I ran it. then after the first pass I checked it again & it had lost about .5 Lbs. I set it back to the setpoint & its been there pretty much ever since. maybe .1 or .2 Lb variation, but not more than that. I ran it this weekend after >1 month down time & right back to where it should be.

If the regulator is hard mounted to the motor remove it at once. Regualtors hate vibration. I let mine hang from the fuel lines.. Also are you sure your fuel pump is stable in pressure and voltage?

You mean like this?

the fuel pump has stable pressure.i am thinking it is the battery...
do the holley regulators go bad??

[Monty Mikho]

Holley regulators can go bad. They are cheap enough to try a new one.. or you can try rebuilding this one but I dont think its worth it..

[Monty Mikho]

Bob, that is a NO NO!! It will sting ya sooner or later..

[Bobalos]

I know, I remember from the last time you spanked me about it. LOL. I guess I better get busy on the "new combo", huh?
