Hi Fellows , I need some help /advice . 1973 914 1.7 with original Fuel Inj. Djet . Original 50 year old fuel pump -3 ports. When I go to start it , I have to bump the ignition switch 2 times to get it to start. Fuel pump runs . I have a fuel pressure gauge hooked up to drivers side fuel rail. Pressure goes to 36lbs when I turn on ign switch. When I turn off ign switch, pressure immediately drops to 0 psi. The real question is : Does the fuel system supposed to hold pressure or slowly leak down after ign switch is turned off ???? Does fuel pump have a pressure valve in its return to tank, to hold some pressure ? Do I need a new fuel pump ? thank you for any help . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Paul
