I got the BBK adjustable fuel pressure regulator, and I'm running really lean right now, so I need to fatten it up a bit.

My question is do you turn the allen screw clockwise or counterclockwise to richen the AF ratio.

I loosen the keeper nut, than turn the allen screw, but do I do it with the vacuum line attatched or unattatched.

I don't have a fuel pressure gauge right now, but I will have one. I just want to fatten it up a bit, so I can ride it around and break in the clutch.

thanks for the help.

after you get the fuel gauge installed you have to take off the vacuum line and plug it with your finger. not sure which way to up the fuel pressure, i believe if you tighten it it ups the fuel pressure
