no secrets, webers expect the same fuel pressure that other carbies expect..no magic required.

I have only ever seen 0-5psi regulators used on weber setups. With 1.5-3psi being the common range. More than 4 psi and the needle and seats start leaking, raising the float level and flooding the engine.

The Weber book agrees. You need low pressure. Minnesh, you'd be better off listening to repair manuals rather than somebody's word. Just go to the library and check it out, or check the Weber web page.
