Extractors for 4G32B

Wondering if there is much difference (if any) between extractors for the 4G32 chain and belt drive? Are they interchangeable? Thanks, Bob.

I know one goes to the starter motor and one to the ballast but after that I' m stuffed. Pulled the whole lot out over 12 months ago and I know its my fault for not tagging...

G'day blokes, The petrol pump spacers that you are supposed to use of the 4G32B seem to be as scarce as rocking horse shit. Can't seem to get one anywhere. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks, Bob.

Re: Petrol tank LC Lancer

G'day Jason, No mate, took off the upper bit that the outlet pipe is connected to the tank and found the hole in the bend of the inner part of the feed pipe right where it bends to go to the pickup. Welder reckons it will be a shit of a job to repair the hole in the pipe. To reattach to upper bit is...

Re: Petrol tank LC Lancer

Thanks fellas, Found the problem. Bloody great hole in the feed line inside tank. I have no idea how it would have got there, can only say that the previous owner must have done it somehow. Anyway, off to the welders. Thanks for all the help, Bob.

Re: Petrol tank LC Lancer

Yeah thanks mate, I have tried wire,compressed air and various other bits and pieces to try to work out if there is a blockage inside the tank but it all seems to be clear.

Re: Petrol tank LC Lancer

Yep, thanks mate. I can get a feed out of the tank when I hold it upside down, or sideways allowing gravity to do its job but when it comes to using suction to get a feed there are only fumes. Does anyone know if the feed comes from the bottom of the tank via the outlet which is located on the high ...

Car currently running mechanical fuel pump which has been pretty unreliable. Thought an electric pump might solve the problem but I s'pose I'll stick with the original. Thanks, Bob.
