If you have a BG -2 port regulator, that could be your problem. Myself and a few other racers had new ones that were junk out of the box. Some guys even bought them twice and it only resulted in twice the headache. ---- Kevin ---

I had the same problems with the BG 400 pump caused by premature wear of the rotor or vane and housing inside the billet base. The pump lost 25% of the pressure in less than 150 passes. I am sending it back for rebuild the second time in two years. Thinking about going to an Aeromotive pump.

A couple of years ago i bought a BG280 pump and 2 port regulator. The fuel pressure was all over the place. One minute it would be a 7 lbs and the next over 10. If i reved up the engine it would drop below 5. When it did creep up above up the carb would flood. Jegs sent me another regulator with the same results. I put back on my old Mallory regulator and the fuel pressure stays at a constant 7 psi. I now have another BG regulator but it can stay in the box as my mallory regulator works fine. The BG pump works great but the regulators are junk.

Get rid of it and get a MagnaFuel. They are field servicable for $20, balanced stator (no more leaks between the motor and pump), and a much better company to deal with. I would not put a BG pump back in one of my cars if it were free...............(excpet the one I had to borrow from Little Joe at Atlanta Last year)

I have one, real consistent. Works great- as a wheel chock.
