B&M come purple, and those are no good. You can only go up with those not down. You need to find a true fpr with 1:1

You can turn down a b and M if you drill a small hole in the bottom of the regulator to relieve pressure...with a fuel pump you shouldnt be able to lower it greatly unless the regulator has been drilled...

Yeah that's generally the truth. I've only heard of a few stories where ppl can still bring the pressures down quite a bit. mines included without drilling

But that's most likely your problem. you got a walbro pump. too much rpessure for that stock regulator return.
