Fuel pump pressure?

Guys any idea what pressure the fuel pump is meant to put out? I am still having problems with my bike. Its either fuel or electrical and I've cleaned and greased every connector so fuel is next. I did a filter and O-ring change on the fuel pump while the bike was in bits recently. The pump is spinning up and passes TuneECU test but I though it was meant to put out near 3bar /35/40psi. If I have my finger over the end of the hose I can feel some pressure but not enough to squirt fuel past it. 35psi I would imagine could easily squirt fuel past my finger. I will try and get KTM Centre to test pressure later today but thought I'd ask here first.

51psi or 3.5 bar according to kowekillers thread

51psi would push fuel past my finger every time wouldn't it? Its not like I'm holding it on there uber tight

Problem solved guys Whipped out fuel pump and one of the metal catches that can be seen halfway up the pump touching the ground had popped off on one side It holds the top part on and I'm guessing fuel was able to escape back into the tank after being pressurised. Slapped it back in place, refitted the pump and boom she fired straight up

Now I just have to deal with the oil escaping from the advanced breather mod At least the motor is running sweet again though.
