Hi, Bentley says 28 psi at idle with vacuum hose on. 35 psi with vacuum hose disconnected. The book does not say aircooled or water, so I assume it is the same for both. I just checked mine last week and it was 34 psi and 38 psi. I ordered a new regulator from BD @ $60? I'll report to the list in a few weeks with what it reads. Mark Ingalls 85 GL 'Aimee Airheart'
