pressure regulator

rosedale123 · Apr 26, 2013

I have come to the conclusion it is a pressure regulator inline between the mechanical fuel pump and the carburator ( downdraft) on my B414. Is a regulator really needed with a mechanical fuelpump? I am almost thiining someone has "cobbled" this in at some point.

What ya think???

I know nothing about that model tractor, but pressure regulators were a big aftermarket deal in the 50's and 60's. Every auto magazine you picked up had a mileage minder or two advertised. I would check the parts book and if it is ot origial equipment I would chuck it.

My B414 gas has the downdraft carb, Zenith and no pressure regulator. I think someone put it on later, no idea why.

Thank you. It doesn't show it n the parts book so i think you are right

The aftermarket fuel ptrssure regulators can be a benifit to fight hot flooding,IF the regulator is mounted right at the carb fuel inlet.
