just pick up a fuel pressure regulator. mine is holley brand. however these seem to crap out after a while due to the low fuel pressure these motors need. so check the pressure every once in a while because by crap out, i mean that it could could lean out the motor.

ok the motor was "gas washed" the whole exhaust was full of gas and leaking out the muffler.. i hope that the fuel regulator will help a bit... isnt there one we can buy that will work with our carbs a bit better? around 3-4psi actually? do u think the stock pump would cause this at all too? or maybe a new upgrade would be better?

I think you have misdiagnosed the problem, bcty.
But whatever. The engine is new, and still under warrantee, right? Why mess with the warrantee and screw yourself?? - call the shop that built the engine, and calmly tell them what happens when you turn the key. I'd say you need to do what they tell you to do, since it's their warrantee that applies here!
This is business, and you need to cover your ***, eh.
