You dont really want over 6 psi at the carb and 4-5 will work just fine as long as you have a big pump. I ruined a set of float bowls tring to tighen the needles down enough to stop a fuel leak, turns out my blue pump was pushing 9 psi at the bowls. IP: Logged

Most good needle and seats will tolerate just shy of 8 lbs (my fuel pressure is always set at 7 1/2 lbs.) IP: Logged
