Facet Fuel Pump Problem

[rsta1466 4]

hello

 

i have recently converted my 1.6 gti to run on r1 carbs, the parts i used and the way i have it set up is, facet fuel pump mounted where the old fuel filter was, then into a filterking regulator and then into the bronze fitting ont the bottom of the carbs,

 

the problem i am getting is that when the pipe coming off the regulator is connected to the carbs the pump doesnt seem to work, i just clicks and no fuel seems to get to the carbs (im saying this as i have the guage on the filteking and it just flutters around at the bottom), however if i dissconnect this pipe and put it into an open container the pump pumps a constant stream of petrol and still clicks a little bit but is much quieter.

 

is there a problem with my pump? or have i done something stupid anywhere else?

Is there a return to the tank? It seems like it's trying to pressurise and unable to get rid of the air in the fuel rail.

Is it a red top?

 

I killed two before it was pointed out to me that they shouldn't be mounted horizonatally, I couldn't mount it vertically so had a bracket made so it was as upright as poss - no probs since
