as title.

needs to be good enough to bolt straight on and run. preferably cheap as chips too as it's only to get me through sva then i'm changing to the twin 40's that are sitting next to me.

noticed yesterday it's pi$$ing fuel out all over the place on mine

cheers

Why bother?

You can get through with 40's ok

I got through with 45's

I tuned mine myself following Dave Andrews instructions:

I only had to make very minor adjustments to the idle mixture at the MOT to pass - the same test as SVA



Cheers Mark

the reason is the 40's need a linkage kit and a service and i'm pretty skint after buying that thing with a cosworth badge on the back at xmas

just in need of something to get me by for a while

Ok fair point

Have you fitted a return pipe? I had the same with my 2.0 using the mechanical pump. I fitted the swirl pot and return from the donor to cure it.

ive got a swirl pot for sale if you want bit of a twat to have to install a full length of fuel pipe though.


john_p_b - 29/3/05 at 05:15 PM

any chance of some pictures/ diagrams or general pointers please guys, i'm a bit lost as there doesn't appear to be anywhere to connect a return pipe and as for a swirl pot?!?!

standard pinto carb setup is a line from the tank to the mechanical fuel pump, from there to the vapour seperator, and then one pipe to the carbs and another to return fuel to the tank. without a vapour seperator and return, you run the risk of forcing too much fuel into the carb, though many people will say they have done that with no probs - my engine is runnign rich, probably due to the lack of a return.
