probably will pass - but unless you like under hood fires that regulator should be firmly mounted. That's a bunch a weight hanging off an aluminum thin wall pipe - be safe and mount it right.
it will pass but dude take 10 minutes and make a bracket for it.

chuck nuytten carbs says regulators should not be hard mounted,of course he was telling me thats why the complete fuel system and carb that i got from him speced to my engine wouldn't work right.said vibration from being mounted won't let regulator work right.it didn't cure the problem i was having,ended up selling that carb and put mine back on.
What? Never heard of such a thing. I've never seen on "floating" w/o a mount...except for the OP's.

This is what you need to do - but it probably will pass - but not without comment.

I have one of those brackets that goes under the carb to hold the regulator on the side of the carb sitting in the basement. I think what you have will be fine.

I decided to make a bracket... Thanks for the input.
You do know that those regs only have a .25 dia opening in them? all those big hoses aren't doing much.
