Subject:      fuel pressure regulator questions
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

I am trying to trouble-shoot my running-rich issue.  I checked the fuel
pressure regulator per Bentley and here is what i got @idle:
the spec is 28 w/ vac hose connected and 36 w/o connected.
I got 32-34 w/ vac hose and 38 w/o hose connected.

I see these values are high, but only by a few psi-  are these value too
high? And would they be the culprit to my rich running problem?  A new
pressure regulator is $70 and i would like not to just throw $ at the
potential problem.

I suppose i should get a 'second opinion' by riggin' together another
pressure reader.

I have also been checking all vacuum lines. One thing i noticed is that
there is some oil coming out of the hose coming from the verticle black
breather pipe thing. Is that uncommon?

Thanks
