So I have had a solid state facet pump for such a long time, its never played up however I decided to go back to a normal mechanical pump. - this one FUEL PUMP MECHANICAL pre 1990 CARS AND ALL 998 NON GENUINE - Mini Spares

Now i haven't as yet removed the facet so its unplugged but with the engine running the new pump seems to have so much pressure its gushing out of the overflow.    I rebuilt the carb with a rebuild kit and its still doing it!  Has anyone else had this problem with this pump?

Float stuck??  Or maybe install an inline pressure regulator?

I have had trouble with mechanical pumps from this supplier in the past, my advice return unit and stay with the Facet.
