I had an MPI marine engine installed in my boat and i'm working trying to do a process of elimination here. The people I bought the motor said the high pressure pump will squeal if it doesn't get enough fuel flow. I never saw anything in the manual, about flow requirements but I'm wondering if maybe I need a higher flow racor on the boat. Mine is a 60gph rating, but looking up the specs for what looks like to be a carter low pressure fuel pump it flows anywhere from 50-72gph free flow rating. I wonder if this is my restriction squealing issue? I don't think it's the belts because i've tightened them and haven't noticed a difference. So since this engine has a return line it makes me wonder how much fuel it's actually flowing through my racor main filter.
