need4speed Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Going over the final things before turning the key for 1st time. Would it be prudent to swap the unknown old FPR for a new one? Do these things ever break on the RV8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Pretty reliable in my experience, don't think I have ever changed one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need4speed Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 Good enough for me Bowie. Cheers.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesy Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I had two that leaked down, were ok when running but made it very hard to start... not very easy to diagnose either when you are trying to set up the fuel table for starting. Test them with a gauge, if they hold pressure and regulate to the correct pressure they should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quagmire Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I tested both of mine on compressed air before first start, both seemed to work ok. *Edit- good luck with the first start! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need4speed Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Ok so it turns out my original question was moot. When I looked tonight there isn't one fitted.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need4speed Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Oh bugger. Just seen how much these things cost.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Is there an external one? I may have one, but be a few days before I can have a hunt, still not had time to get there for the linkage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need4speed Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 That would be great if you could have a look Bowie. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
