Pressure at pump right at 14 volts.
Well I fixed it....I think.
I cut off the factory fuel line. I never have liked it anyway as it is bent to a certain shape and doesn’t conform well. It was very easy to cut off. I replaced it with standard rubber fuel line and I like that so much better.
I bent the “flapper valve” out some so it would open under a lighter pressure....
And it worked. Maybe a little too well. Stays dead on at 42 psi now.
The main question still remains....why? What could have happened in the last few months to make the pressure control valve not function properly. I took the pump completely apart. I removed every little screen filter and every housing there is. All of it was very clean and nothing visually wrong.
I hope I didn’t create a bandaid solution. But hey, if the pressure is there and remains there throughout the rev range there’s really nothing else to worry about I suppose.
