2 questions
1) my blade pump packed up.. I had a facet solid state Competition pump lying around (the small one) 6 to 7 psi 25 gallons per hours, the motor was a
pig to start always flooding 1800cc per minute as opposed to honda's 900cc per minute so i have fitted a cheap pressure regular (petrol king) I
have set it to allow 900cc per minute .... one of my mates is loaning me an in line pressure gauge to check pressure. what i would like to know is
what is the normal road fuel pressure for a blade and if the pump is to powerfull have i restricted the pressure or just the flow rate.
2) does any-one have a drawing with the hole centres and overall holes sizes for a blade baffle plate and is 16 alloy sheet alright
many thanks

uhhh
for flow rate and pressure check hayness around
you can also search for haynes on the threas because Rorty putted some links on the forum..
not much time ago..
then i would make the sump bafle out of 1mm ali and let it lasercut for Good precieze measure ments..
wy ali because it can act like an seal when you torque on the bolts..

Forget the Facet right now, it'll never work. Trust me, I've been there. Go and get another bike pump off ebay. If you want the whole
sorry saga U2U me!
You'll get more on ebay for the facet than you'll pay for the bike item anyway.

ive tried the facet same one as you still sitting in the garage didnt work pumping way to much fuel heat fuel coming out of the exhaust port.
i now use the normal blade pump mounted at the back same level as the fuel tank seems to work ok

set the regulator to the same flow rate as the blade. managed to singe the dog it just happened to walk past as a 3 foot flame came out the exhaust 2
sets of plugs later and a vauxhall header tank gravity feeding the engine it runs great...just need a blade pump

Blade Fuel Pump
Anybody got experience around which bike fuel pumps will work OK on carb-fed blade?
My local breakers wanted £50 for a balde fuel pump - seems a little steep!
Cheers

Rule of thumb - anything carbed with similar power, so FZR1000, CBR1000, ZX9 etc should all be OK. Most of them use the same / similar pump anyway, a
Mitsubishi one.
