'84 CJ7 2.5L Fuel Pump
I am new to this forum and have recently moved my CJ to Hawaii. I was away for 3 months and in that time the fuel pump went out. I replaced it with the proper unit (I think) but it is putting out over 10 PSI, I did try a 2nd pump with the same results. My single barrel Carter is unable to handle this much pressure and has just been rebuilt. What I am gathering is that I need to put a Fuel Pressure Regulator in line to lower it to 3-4 PSI, I'd like to avoid an electric fuel pump.
I am hoping for some direction from this site.
Thanks!
