Thread: Electric fuel pump

1. Facet pumps run continuously using a transistor oscillator to retract the pump piston a few times a second. They cannot run over pressure because the spring behind the pump plunger is what generates the pressure. When the carby fills up the plunger simply travels less distance and gets a little quieter.

2. If Aerostart makes it go it isn't flooded unless your petrol has gone off due to extreme age. More likely your choke isn't working correctly. They should start on full choke, no accelerator.

Thanks Bee utey.
I've taken out the gas system as part of my refit. Can the hoses that ran from the mixer(??) on the bulkhead to the carby just be capped off? The throttle and choke cables were also disconnected as part of the refit so I'll have a play to see how their adjustment affects the starting issue.

Any idea what this bottle may have done? It sits on the RH guard and the tube from it T's into a breather tube from the carby to the rocker cover.


Cheers,
Chris
