You were right the first time. But the pump CAN put out a LOT more than
the engine needs. For example the same mechanical pump is used on the B30.
But if a float valve is stuck, held open by a bit of grit, etc you can get
a LOT more fuel than you need and in fact it will be so rich that it is hard
to keep it running. (we call this "flooding".)

The flashy chrome fuel pressure regulators have numbers on them but the numbers
are NOT psi. To know what pressure you are getting you need a pressure gauge.
On the last trial I found that a setting of 2 gave 3 psi. Your results will
probably be different.
