I thought you were an electronics dabbler?  I don't mind doing another if you get stuck though - done quite few now  ;)

I am an electronics dabbler - but that's generally more wires than soldering...

 

I think I'll order the kit and see what it's all about.

Could someone be kind enough to repost some of the 1300cc maps mentioned above? Mines a mk3 spit 1300cc which is pretty much standard - minor head work, twin carbs, tubular exhaust

 

Thank you

My Spark advance table.  1300 small crank. Standard pistons, camshaft etc.  Bigger valve head with multi angle valve seats.  HS4s with stubstacks and custom airbox.  4:2:1 stainless manifold straight through to motorcycle backbox.  Running really very nicely now.

Roger do you have a photo of the mounting arrangement for your pump? Looking for hints as that is the pump I am planning on using for mine (apologies for slight thread drift)

Hello

          Found the photos at last

As you can see I fitted a baffle and braised the screws up but it does not work very well I think I left to many gaps around the edge!

I made the pump flange and the braising is a bit messy!

Hello Colin

                  I forgot to say I used the original feed pipe for the return and it points towards the pump.

I also changed the rubber in the filler cap to non breathing type and ran a pipe from the blocked up one inside the boot and exiting at rear boot floor'

Following on from Rogers pump, I used a Golf mk4 pump that has a built-in swirl pot, and yiu can run the tank near enough dry.

Fillting the pump ingolved getting a ring braized to the tank, but it bridged the flange (which had to be cut off in that area) and made a viton seal. I will try to sort a pic

Hello All

                I looked at those at the time but I was not sure I could get a ring type fitting to seal in the lower part of the tank!

The Range Rover one just fits top to bottom the only snag is I would have to remove the tank to change it!

But it is a bolt up flange fitting and I paid the extra and bought a genuine  Range Rover one and British made if that helps? (Trico I think)

It will pump to the bottom of the tank it just when I get to about a 1/3 tank it cuts out on Left Handers if going quick(it can be a Bugger in Spain around islands!

I tend to fill the tank when it gets below 1/2 ish but its ok if on motorway type roads and we can do 200+ miles no problem(the Bladder does not last that long!!)

Mine is like this one with a filter on it but I also have a in line filter behind the board in the boot a nice metal one off some modern car and cheap as chips(but they no now!)
