You disconnectthe fuel hose from the mechanical pump=2C and then =2C with the electric pump on=2C you pump fuel for 30 seconds int o a container. From that you compute the fuel flow . If it looks good=2C th en the problem will either be the mechanical pump or in the fuel lines to t he carbs=2C or the return line.

They seem very thick - compared to the worn ones which were almost down to the rivet heads! I'm sure it will all go back together OK but I have a suspicion that they might well up clamping themselves to the brake disc when I tighten the bolts. Can you adjust the gap between the pads such they don't bind maybe with a couple of washers as shims? Anyone else find their pads bind? As I say I haven't actually put them back on yet and they might be alright - I just want to make sure I have my bases covered before I head over to the hangar later this week. Regards, Martin ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 12:28:52 PM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: fuel pressure problem, urgent From: "Roland" Jrgen, I agree with Graham. You have to go to a Rotax specialist. If you are located in West Germany I can recommend Cycloon Holland in Venlo. They know a lot about Rotax. Good luck! Roland [quote="grahamsingleton(at)btinte"]Juergen You might need to replace your mechanics, a lot of them don't understand Rotax. Check the bleed back restrictor is correctly installed, particularly check also that the bleed back is after the mechanical fuel pump.
