Re: Facet pump NEW

All ok now The pump just made a lot of noise . When l put my finger over the input it just didn't seem to have the slightest of suction.

Re: Facet pump NEW

Re: EFI prep work

The return line was an add on . There was however prevision for it to run to the front along side the fuel line.
The return line empties into the fuel filler hose line.

Re: What is this Carby?

I had one similar that my boss gave .His dad worked at Renault factory in West Heidelberg in the 70s. It was a small Webber most probably for the Reno 12 that was assembled there . Mine was brand new but covered in some kind of wax.
l ended up binning it about 20 years ago.

Re: Astron running lean

l was thinking a little different. Maybe there is a problem with the wires going down to the pumps and there not getting the amps down the wires. That may make the wires warm and the pumps not to preform to good , hence the missing.
Just another idea , good luck

Would it be a good idea to just run a temp 12 v line to the pumps to see if it makes a difference ?

Try looking at Aluminium radiators on EBay . Don't think you will find one that says suit Sigma but there is a lot with measurements supplied.
Should find one that will with a bit of a fiddle make fit.

Re: Confined space for eletric pumps

Not going in the Quarter panel .
Maybe a sealed compartment next to the spare wheel but l feel the pumps will need to be vented to the outside
to reduce generated heat.

Confined space for eletric pumps

Read a thread on Hoon boys LC Hatch . He mounted and sealed his surge tank and pumps inside his 1/4 panel .
l am in 6 minds as to were to put my lift pump and main pump.
The question is... Wouldn't they get hot ???
And if not.... Could they be mounted in a smaller compartment ???
