MG Midget and Sprite Technical - fuel pump

hi does anyone know what the fuel pressure is supposed to be for a 78 1500 midget

I'm not sure exactly what it's supposed to be, but the origianl mechanical pump on my 1500 put out 5 to 7 PSI...I verified it awhile back with an in line guage.

I would suspect that about 2 to 3 psi would be more than adequate but I am curious why you were asking. Do you have an issue?

I live in Lincolnshire and would gladly help sort out car if you are nearby. I live in Messingham but get around all of Lincs sometime during the month.

thanks for the offer but already sorted it i hope .had a prob with carbs overflowing, ruled them out by fitting an ok spare pair but prob still there , thought then i had better check if pump was not giving out too much pressure but turns out pump filter was badly blocked after i cleaned it it has been spot on since so touch wood hopefully ive cracked it
