Hi - does anyone have reference to a better solution to headlights up / down actuation? I seem to remember some people doing an electric motor-based solution....

More likely the main interior light switch that's built into the headlight switch and comes on when you pull the knob out a little. It's fairly easy to do...

Helder, I may be missing something here but why do you care about fuel pressure? All the pump has to do is fill the float chamber, the fuel is drawn in by...
Helder, If I recall correctly, the correct fuel pressure for these carb's is in the 2 psi range. FWIW, I couldn't find a word about fuel pressure in the Haynes...
Steve is right...the flow of fuel to the bowl is controlled by the needle valve that is actuated by the float. Most of the readily available "solid state" fuel...
