Close or do i overlook something?
That is the YS regulator system... what Chris is building and what Walbro and Stihl use, works differently. Those regultors do not sense crankcase pressure but basically atmospheric pressure, and they keep thepressure in the fuel line at a fixed offset from atmospheric. As soon as the engine starts consuming, the regulator opens to maintain that set pressure.
