Richard from GDP I need HELP

I just installed a Fuel Boss and I cant get constant pressure 90% of the time. I have been over everything 4 or 5 times to make sure everything is correct. I dont know what to do it runs off the OEM lift pump most of the time. It will only hold 4-8 lbs. When the FB is working I see 12-14 and a max of 20 is that part normal anyway? HELP PLEASE.

I have zero first hand experience with the FB myself but from the research I have done I thought that was 100% normal??

I have no experience with the Fuel Boss either, but I do have experience with Richard. I ordered my WAlbro from him and teh Big Line Kit, and when he shipped it, it was shipped without 1 washer. No big deal, I picked up the phone, and he overnighted it that day. Once I was ready to install, I had a couple mroe questions, called Richard. Bam. Johnny on teh spot!

EVERY time I have called Richard, he has either:
1)Answered the phone and been VERY professional
OR
2)I left a message, only for him to call me back within minutes, and was very professional on the phone

That guy rocks, has a great product, and great customer service!

I guess I misunderstood your post. I thought you are worried about the 12-14psi Idle and the 20 max psi....so when it's not working it's Zero??
is it only on start up?

Same here, I logged how many trouble calls I made to him on my install.

4 calls made during install, he answered every one. Even the one at 11pm.

There you go, now THAT is customer service, and THAT is what people should know about what vendors they are dealing with. Not only the bad, but the good as well.

When I was deciding on a LP, I was going back and forth between teh FASS and Walbro. I received quite a few PM's from guys that had both, but the one's that had the Walbro would always thorw in...."Man, Richard is a great guy to deal with also...." So, one phone call to him, and after talking to him, sealed the deal. No need to call anyone else he did such a great job on the phone and describing everything to me. Not for one second of one day have I regetted going with GDP, nor regretted telling everyone that is deciding between the two they should go GDP. NOT because FASS did anything wrong or anything, I was just that impressed with GDP.

Agreed, 100%, I love the GDP/Walbro, the install was so smooth, and the system is awesome.

Don't the fuel boss build pressure with RPM? So 12-14 psi at just above idle and 20 psi while on the throttle, right?

Yes it builds pressure with RPM but it doesnt allways do that. Sometimes I can idle at 14psi and sometimes at 4. when the RPM is pushed up the pressure will now build. We are trying to figure it out.
