225. But my fuel pressure gauge is for fuel injection systems, so 3 psi is way down on the low end of the scale. It's probably not accurate enough to tell the difference between 3 and 4. The problems I see are the bowl is only about half full of gas which doesn't look right, but without the specs for the carb, I'm hesitant to start futzing with it, and the accelerator pump is sticky and even when it works best gives a feeble squirt that's part air. Float needle doesn't seem to stick, and fuel pressure seems adequate to open it easily. Symptoms are hard starting when cold, and occasionally stalling when driving, but then it starts right up again easily. It's frustrating for the drivers. This was a factory rebuilt carb 5 years go and it worked okay until recently, but rather than keep futzing with it, I'm thinking to convert to a Weber, which seem to be pretty much trouble free.
