Parallel is better ...> Parallel is clearly better, but it involves redesigning and re-plumbing the whole fuel feed system. I am definitely going to do that (it HAS to be part of the rotary conversion) but I'd prefer to pick the time and the place it gets done. Series is thus still on the table since it allows me to replace my current $600 unit with something affordable that I can use on the final configuration. Decision time in the next couple of days. Looks like I may be good to go ... Jim S. John Slade wrote: >Speaking of regulators.
