Re: Help....run'n rich 700 1988

Tap on the Fuel Pressure regulator with the handle of a screwdriver or hammer. This is a simple first test, not always conclusive but most of the time it works for me. If the car runs better momentarily after rapping on the pressure regulator, you need to replace the regulator.

Best thing would be to hook up a fuel pressure gauge. In lieu of that you can check the fuel flow coming out the back of the regulator. SAFETY is the keyword here. A plugged regulator will return almost no fuel to the tank.

Whatever you find, be sure to change your oil once you have the right fuel mix. Running this rich it is sure to put a lot of fuel in the crankcase.
