Just bought a series III with a undersized fuel pump so it
will on run for a few seconds. It had a complete rebuild back
in 94 and has about 2500-3000 miles on it…needs the oil
changed for sure, but when started it carries about 80 PSI…a
little rev before it dies and it gets to 90…I have looked everywhere for oil pressures for this engine, but no luck in
my search…any help here…thanks BUTCH–

Undersize fuel pump? never heard of such a thing. Are we talking
the original SU style or an after market pump.
The oil pressure spec is a mimimum of 40 psi at 3000rpm when hot,
if above that you have no worries.–
