As you go WOT, manifold vaccuum drops to 0 (i.e. relative to atmospheric pressure) and nothing is "pulling up" on the regulator fuel return valve.<br /><br />When you set FP, you should set it with the vaccuum line off of the regulator and plugged up. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
