General Discussion / Re: Pagoda 230 SL fuel problems

« Last post by rwmastel on Today at 01:00:33 »

the fuel pump has been rebuilt, the injection pump is working fine, so I don´t know what to do.

What you do is work with facts, not assumptions. You got good advice and hopefully you found the problem.  If the flow rate is still low, let us know.  You can also search the forums or look in the Tech Manual for measuring frel pressure.

An email notification was sent out, on 15 November - it also included a call to vote for the new board members.

I had to go back and check.  I huess I saw that voting was open and then closed the message.  Didn't bother to scroll down!

General Discussion / Re: My new style garage lift

Rodd,

Though from the one photo you posted I cannot tell exactly what's going on in your garage, what I can say is that to maximize your space, you might consider what is called a high lift garage door (which is basically a set of extension tracks) and then a side mount jack screw door opener.

The door doesn't hug the ceiling as closely as I'd like, but it was a reasonable effort.  And the opener is on the wall right next to the rod/spring.  Stop by on your next trip to MI.

You may want to consider fitting an in- line filter between tank and fuel pump. Fuel pump should have a screen in the fitting, but still…

Just be careful - if you have original fuel lines they are 9mm ID. Most filters are 8mm. So either do it the Kent’s way - fit short lengths of hose on filter fittings to increase their diameter, or find filter with 9mm fittings.
