Seems like i cant catch a break with the new parts ive been purchasing. 1st i had a new fuel sending unit go bad after 2 weeks. Now my Holley regulator is not working. Both parts were installed back in March so both are out of warranty. I had the regulator set at 5.5 psi and car was idling awesome. Finally got around to installing my lock up kit for the 700r4 yesterday and car wouldnt start. Had a bad smell of gas and found that the carb was flooding. Well it turns out the regulator was not regulating the fuel anymore. The car has never seen the road and was probably only started 10 times and let idle for 10 minutes each time. So i took off the regulator this morning and opened it up thinking the diaphram must be torn, but it wasnt. Looks to be in really good shape. Could the regulator have gotten stuck? Tried adjusting while on car but no change at all. Has anyone experienced this type of issue with holley regulators? What could have caused this?

Yes, everything is new and tank is clean.

Have you checked the pressure between the reg and the carb? Maybe the reg is working...and the needles and seats are not?

That isn't what he asked.

Is the line clear? You have blown through it or otherwise PHYSICALLY VERIFIED that it is CURRENTLY free of obstruction WHILE IT'S IN THE ACT OF SCREWING UP?

I have the gauge between the regulator and carb. When car was working properly it was set at a steady 5.5 psi. The gauge has a maxium of 15psi. When the car was flooding it would shoot past the maximum psi.

We cannot help YOU if you do not help YOURSELF.

Yes, everything is new and tank is clean. See that word in bold letters, YES. Yes means i did blow the line out. So i did answer his question and i added that everything else is new and cleaned out so there wont be any confusion for the people who dont like to read. If you gonna repost what i typed please post my whole sentence.

That's not what you've been asked.

What you've been asked is,

Is the return line clear?

Your response is NOT the answer to that question. To SOME OTHER question maybe; butt not THAT one.

That just sucks cause i aint a rich guy and you spend good money on a product that aint worth a damn. Only one ive been seeing that everyone pretty much loves is the aeromotive brand. Cant see myself spending 200 plus on a regulator. I guess like that old saying goes, if you want to play you have to pay.
