[QUOTE="ozziedog, post: 643001, member: 13810"] Ok , take the pipe off your carb or your splitter / T piece if you’ve got twin carbs. Get a dry empty 1, 1.5, 2.0 litre water bottle on its side and hold your fuel pipe about an inch into the bottle. Get your glamorous assistant to turn the key and crank it over for a rrrr rrrr rrrr and you should see the fuel squirting in pulses almost to the bottom of the bottle. Might be a good idea to disable your ignition circuit beforehand :) If you get a good squirt almost to the bottom of the bottle like a fourteen year old on a first date, then you has decent pressure. If it don’t, then you know to track backwards from there. A mechanical fuel pump can be made to suck and blow by hand after removal. Keep checking your pipes by blowin* through. Use a straw as it tastes better than petrol. Ozziedog,,,,,,not nice ,,, a gobfull of petrol :) [/QUOTE]
