Dave, Lowering the voltage mostly changes the speed and hence frequency emited, by the fuel pump (I did some experimenting where I ran the engine electronics off solar powered batteries). It is still just as loud. I am wondering if the rubber vibration isolation stand-off has hardened over time. It might be easier to invest time and energy in that area instead.
