I've installed the Weber and I'm now in the process of connecting all new fuel lines. I'm a little confused on how they should be connected as I'm adding in a few things.

-Keeping the charcoal canister (2 hoses on top, one on the bottom)
-Adding a fuel pressure regulator (LCE)
-Adding a fuel pressure gauge (LCE)

Could someone clarify how to run the lines properly, or post a photo or two? Can't wait to hear this thing run!



Thanks!

 

Fuel tank-> filter ->electric pump -> filter up front -> FPR-> carb

Thats how i ran mine initially, wouldnt believe how much crap was in the second filter. Also removed the FPR after having issues with it and havent had any issues since. No clue about the charcoal canister, any reason why you want to keep it?

 

Is your factory fuel pump electrical (in the tank) or manual?
If in the tank you don’t really need a FPR as output is set by the pump itself. Factory calls for 2.8-4.3 psi @ 2500 rpm.
I’m my 1978 it goes “tank-filter-carb”. Simple hookup. I just left the carbon canister alone. It does trap vapor from the tank but not enough to worry about.

 

Any reason I should keep the canister? I can just eliminate it if it makes it easier. I do have a weber carb so from what Ive read I'll need the FPR to ensure the correct pressure.

 

I’m running a Weber 32/36 with stock pump. No problems. Biggest issue I had was getting a good vacuum seal using the two piece manifold adapter for the 32/36. It’s not well made, and gaskets seem to leak. If you show poor vacuum when running, it’s the gaskets.

 

I used the supplied gaskets when I put the carb together. I took my take and made sure everything looked good before tighten everything down. Hopefully I won't have any issues.
