is that the filter that comes with various size interchangeable ends? I had one but ended up chucking it in the bin as couldn't get it to seal, now have a compact unit with water trap/filter  |

The ends are solid, and screw together to clamp onto the glass, hope I can get a seal
for your sake the fuel pump never leaks above all that voltage of the ht leads !!!
Is that worth worrying about before I continue? Must be honest I hadn't considered that. Are these facit pumps prone to leaking anyone?

why do you need a pump gravity feed should be fine as long as fuel tap is above inlet on carb

I have noticed a few people talking about problems when low on fuel, and also the tank is low relative to the carb, so going uphill the outlet will ne below the carb. so on balance decided to fit one. Maybe not needed but will do no harm.

Think I would fit the pump on the other side of the tank. I'd rather pour petrol onto a hot manifold than a distributor.

OK Guys, I'm listening I'll take a look at where I can fit it on the other side later today. As I was feeling glum I spent a few hours servicing the starter motor today. All stripped and painted, and the bendix is off and a new one ordered. So I polished up the aluminium part that will show. Here is the part where its not polished, and where it is. pleased with this |

the teeth are very worn and knarled at the place where they contact the ring, and it sparks when it contacts. Wondering if I should replace the starter ring at the same time, then its done with? The teeth on the ring seem ok - they have a 45 degree chamfer on the contacting side of the tooth, I guess that is ok? This is the inertia type starter.

Only ever had to replace one starter ring, they are deliberately much tougher/harder than the bendix so unless its actually broken I'd leave it alone.
Replacement usually involves upsetting the Mrs by putting the starter ring in the oven and possibly the flywheel in the freezer.

I am the man with no fear. had the engine on the kitchen table the day before xmas eve. I've almost stopped limping now as well. Had another look at the fuel pump this evening, beginning to wonder if I do indeed need it. Any comments?

Only time I've fitted an electric fuel pump was to my red "Special Delivery" Reliant trike, because the tank was at the back & below the carb height. If you're worried about fuel flow, you could fit a large bore tap, like the Pingel ones for instance.

Not so worried, just seemed like a good idea at the time. I think I'll give it a go without and see how that goes.

Personally I'd leave the starter ring alone unless it is knackered I,ve only replaced one at work and it required oxy acetylene and soaking the fly wheel in cold water |
