Default Re: fuel pressure?

Randy,
If the fuel pump has been rebuilt before, it's quite possible that the wrong spring has been fitted under the diaphragm. Some of the rebuild kits have and still do occasionally have a spring that's to stiff. This would raise the pump pressure.
I think the gauge is a good idea for testing.
Another thing to be sure of is clean gas, tiny bits of stuff and things will prevent the needle seating, leading to flooding.
Got a filter?
Good luck,
Martin.
