Gazzar Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 I believe so. The high pressure pump powers the injector, and returns excess fuel from and to a mini tank. The low pressure pump fills the mini tank. It's quite neat. Fitting a high pressure pump to the two main tanks became difficult, fast. And having high pressure petrol in a switch over valve was a bit frightening. I like this plan. I worry about the diaphragm in the lift pump, but I'm sure there's a replacement part somewhere, that will cope, perhaps in California. Somewhere that's been down this road before us.

Gazzar Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 I broke the original lift pump. Snapped off the filter part of the casing. This was ages ago, during one of my house moves. I bought a new one from Britpart, but the cam lever that operates the diaphragm is awful, three steps of steel spot welded together running on my new cam shaft. No. Not happening. I'll build one good one out of two, I think. Hopefully Britpart just copied the original part, and it is all compatible. A dining room table job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazzar Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 Oh. Well, I suppose I could. It's on the list. The alternator should be next, though. Pulley alignment and VR CPS sensor bracketry is the thing I want to do first, before the engine goes in the chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I order plugs it's usually "one of those" and I show the old one to the husqvarna guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazzar Posted July 11, 2020 Author Share Posted July 11, 2020 I'm not so sure. In the obvious position the alternator doesn't align. Bad times. In the extreme opposite position, it's doesn't align either. The pulley is too close to the body of the alternator. A couple of washers makes it good, but then the pulley nut isn't entirely over thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzar Posted July 11, 2020 Author Share Posted July 11, 2020 Does anyone have a series alternator pulley to hand? What diameter is the shaft? What is the distance between the inboard end and the middle of the vee? Oh! And what diameter is the pulley?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzar Posted July 11, 2020 Author Share Posted July 11, 2020 I do have enough to start feeding my thoughts as to brackets and position for the CPS. I like this one: I'd have to fit an adjuster on the bracket so I can move the sensor up and down, but this is neat, keeps the wires away from spinning stuff and is clear from the rest of the timing marks. This is an option, all inside the belt arc: Very tight to the timing mark, very little space for the bracket, but very protected. Is there a risk of a stray signal from the fan? Or the alternator? Don't like this, but do-able: vulnerable wire: This might have worked, but the sensor is the wrong way around: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
