I did my best to measure and I am pretty close to that .2". It's not easy with balancing and keeping the stand surface parallel to the intake. I put it all back together and it seems OK. I ran it a while but it got dark so I had to quit. I am getting my painted sheetmetal back this week. If all goes well I will take it to the Pioneer Days in Eagleville TN next weekend for it's maiden appearance.

I just do not want to use a regulator. Should not have to have one. I will search for a softer spring if needed. Right now I have one of those plastic fuel filters and it is not quite staying full so I do not believe pressure is excessive.

Thank you to all that responded!
