twas the fuel pump

[Jiffer]

Have just fitted lecy fuel pump (I got from a chap at newark auto jumble) it now blows fuses the second I switch it on tried upto 25amp, so rewired it up on the bench and found it to be a duff fuel pump, it's a facet posi-flow so looks like I need a new one,

what one? and where from?

cheers

What engine, carbs, power?

[Jiffer]

engine-mildly tuned 16 xflow

carbs-twin 40 dcoes

power-HAHA (unknow)last time on the rroad (with wrong head it made a massive 76hp not had it back yet

[Toby]

I have read your other post - good luck with the wiring. Make sure that's fixed before fitting a new pump hey!!

 

I read you're fitting 40's to something....it looks like the posi-flow you bought would have been ideal.

 

(Bit slow posting - a crossflow I see - )

Must have been something wrong with the dyno! Perhaps you broke it!

 

More to be had I feel

facet silver is what im going to get

[Jiffer]

been looking at them on tinternet, seems the way to go

[Toby]

I had Googled your one and it seemed to state a lower pressure than the silver top.

 

The Silver Top will be ideal too but will need a pressure regulator to stop the float needles in the carbs weeping.

Don't forget they do two different 'silver top' pumps

[Jiffer]

ordered a silver top pump and kit the other day, I've been told this one is good for 4-4.5 psi which is a bit high for mine, but I have already fitted a fiter king / regulator to take it down to 3psi, hopeing to get it tommorow so can give it a run over the weekend
