If u have an electric fuel pump , the psi on it might be too strong for your carb.

Is it a low pressure electric pump? Fuel injected pumps run at a higher pressure.
Do you have a regulator between the pump and the carb?

I mounted mine to the firewall. It is inline after the fuel filter, before the carb.
