Asked by beetlekidd Dec 13, 2016 at 12:43 AM about the 1974 Volkswagen Super Beetle

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Do I need a fuel  regulator on a  Electric
feel pump.   When I'm driving down the
road it tries to flood out  I think  

1 Answer

I bought this car a couple weeks ago and the electric fuel pump was already installed but it is right by the gas tank what is throwing me for a loop is that it is an electric fuel pump and there is not a place for a mechanical one on the engine block at first I thought it might be a distributor issue because the one that was on it did not have a vacuum advance so I installed one with a vacuum Abvance I reset the timing and change spark plugs and wires it seem to help a little but still wanted to cut out while driving I can pump the pedal a little bit and it would run good for a awhile was wondering if it could be too much fuel pressure
