You should see about 0.2 bar or 2+ psi. This is the minimum required to
push enough fuel through the carb float valve. The old pump was a bit
marginal in this respect when a vapour bleed back is fitted. (Essential
IMHO) If the bleed back restrictor is too big, this will reduce the fuel
pressure. Note, this does not apply to the 914 which must NOT have a
restrictor.
