  1. Well I wired it all up works as it should then spoke to a mate that's a sparky, he said just hook up switch from near ignition switch from acc power when In on position and into the trigger wire to solenoid. That's all the ignition switch does at that position and it's fused already.

    Wired it up will try in morning


  2. Got a diagram for the wiring?

    I'd like it to be only active when key is in to on position on the standard ignition switch so can't be bumped when no key in the Barrel.

     

    So my thoughts are splice into wire on ignition switch for power at on position and the wire that bumps the solenoid. not sure how to wire it in with relay if urs needed. If i wired it to just tgese two wires woukd it draw too many amps to bump start? I need a pic as I'm a visual person


  3. My ignition is playing up on the start end of the Barrel. I bridged the pos terminal and ignition tab on the starter to test it and started first go.

     

    I need to order a new ignition barrel from overseas (not for a Ford) so how can I wire up this set up til it arrives (6-8 weeks).

     

    I know I could use just a momentary switch and 20 amp wires onto cabin but I would have thought a relay or fuse should be used as one wire will get permanent + from the starter terminal?

    Basic diagram anyone?


  4. Got a stock mechanical pump. It reads 4 psi at idle. Too much. Regulator set at 1psi currently.

    Figure set at 2psi with return line same size as feed line, any fuel carb not using goes down return line. One way valve stops flowing back to t peice feeding off regulator into carbs.

     

    I watched fuel bleed into carbs via gauge bleeding from 1psi to 0. Carb floats went from 55ml to 85ml. So needle and seat not holding back pressure of 1psi.

     

    Gravity feed with a tank would need a petcock valve to prevent similar issues once stopped from my understsnding


  5. Ok found my datsun has the option of return line in efi and twin carb models.

    Ive got another line for a return now.

     

    I also found in the spares from previous owner I have a return metal fuel pump to carb line. Wont work with bike carbs as line now runs against fire wall not front of car like stock.

     

    so reading up about bypass setups, using a t peice fuel will run to carbs and return line (like the check valve set up on here but constant) its adviseable to put a one way check valve so fuel doesnt flow back into carbs.

     

    does this sound like a viable option. Seems popular In jap cars to stop vapor lock


  6. So floats set to 1mm travel let idle 20mins no leaks at 1psi fuel pressure. Took for drive. Leans out at just over 5k...got detonation :-( . but getting to 5k much better even with retarded timing.

    15min drive idles at 1700rpm still and no leaks. Yay. But now worried floats too low lol.


  7. Thinking about my bike carb set up I picked up a regulator from a mate. He was telling me his old rotor had a fuel return from the carby fuel bowl to the tank.

     

    have been reading up a bit and some old school racers used to just flood carbs with fuel and hook up the overflows back to the tanks with a return line.

     

    wondering if this is a solution for bike carbs dribbling out the overflows at random???


  8. Cheers guys, I'll do that tonight after work - weather permitting.

     

    I'm 95% certain its carby based, because when I open my pants manually at the zip, I can feel a stiff/stuck part.

     

    The shaft itself physically looks good too, no binding/kinks/cracking like most have.

    fixed for tasmainia
