Looking at 6v electric fuel pumps. Most say they're rated at 6 psi. Is this too much?

Thanks

i have a regulator on my Beetle to get the pressure down to 2.9 psi as that is where it runs best. It is a Holley manufactured unit.

Yes, 6psi is way to high.

The factory specs are 2-4 psi . More than that will over power your carburetor's needle valve and flood your engine.

My fuel pressure is 2.5psi at the carburetor.
