For less than $20 you can put a cheap Summit fuel pressure gauge on it and 
find out.  I put one on my Max Wedger for awhile when it was giving me fits 
and it turned out the fule pressure was 6psi at idle and almost zero when I 
stood on it.  Led me to discover some mickey mouse plumbing arrangements 
into the Carter electric fuel pump.  It had a 5/16 90degree Weatherhead 
fitting on the suction side and 3/8 stuff on the discharge side, Huh?.  Then 
I took the cover off the pump and it was loaded with trash to boot.  That 
didn't fix the immediate problem but I have a system on there now that give 
7psi all the time which will prevent other mysteries in the future I 
suspect.  If you wanna find out, put a gauge on it.  It stops the guessing.
