really pleased she fired up for you. i remember it took an age for us to bleed the fuel system back up again once we'd run it dry.
all the stuff you wanted is ready to go, just give me the word and i'll drop it off at carl's place.

John,
Congratulations on getting the old girl running! Sounds like the fuel pump you were using to prime is a bit dodgy. If it gets worse, check out the fit/gap between the check valves and the pump housing. I removed the check valves and messed around lapping the disk 25 onto the seat 27 to no avail. I could only get about 2" Hg vacuum to pull fuel. Then I realized the valve could leak between the seat 27 and the fuel pump body since there is no gasket. I'm used to seeing a gasket here on other vehicles. Using some Aviation Gasket goop to glue the seat to the body increased the suck to 5" Hg, a big improvement. Hope it lasts. Malcolm |

Hi Malcolm, Rick
yes sir, I think we could benefit from a pair of new pumps or a rebuild, I remember on my FV432 that the fuel crossover/drain also had only one gasket where I felt it needed two... Rick I will PM you on the parts, thank you I am going to get the old girl in the shop at the end of the month for some interior work so pumps over the winter I think John |
