Hi,

Yes i can hear the pump surging, sorry i had uploaded a video showing my fpr gauge.

Its set for 40psi but surging between 30 - 50 on just ign with the fuel pump jumped.

It could be pressure reg yes but i guess I'll have to change one to prove the other.
Also i had read that surging that much is unlikely to be the reg as its too big a margin
