Hi,
back from Norway a couple of hours ago. Storms in the fiords. Where we
were supposed to go ashore by lighter was scrapped. Disappointed by
fiords. Was expecting steep sided gorges and all we got was small islets
as if in a large estuary. Good cruise companions though. One couple
were yacht charterers and had been about a bit. drank a lot and good
shows on board and NO KIDS. Super crossing coming home. Like a mill
pond. glad to be back.
Just finished writing a jazz horror story. About 40 pages single side
A4. Would you like it? Can send attached to e-mail.

Hi Russ,
no such luck. A weeks cruise. Southampton to Stavangar first leg. Its
raining and blowing up a hooghlie at the moment and the temps in Norway
are way down. Taking my wheelchair but don`t anticipate
getting around too much. Sit on the boat and read and draw. Shame.
this is the first time I have ventured abroad since I was taken ill 5
years ago on the eve of going to the States.. Tal;k to you in a week.

Gosh you guys sure have hair triggers. Give the guys a break. If you
were supplying goods to the aircraft industry wouldn`t you keep an eye
on the literature? These days that includes lists and blogs. I don`t
see any `Big Brother` in that. Just good business practice.
They saw an item being criticised for being over priced and just
pointed out that it was being compared to a different product and
mentioned the fact that they also sell cheaper ones. Seems reasonable to
me.
It appears that they support the sponsorship deal. Seems to show
good intent.
An old saying occurs to me. Something about `With hold your verdict
until all the evidence is in`
Incidentally its no good sending me posts telling me that I am wrong
a I am off to Norway for seven days in the morning.

I have a Firestar II with a Rotax 503 DCDI and it's been cutting out. I replaced
all the fuel lines, filter, and fuel pump. When I turn on the electric pump
the problem goes away. Help!!!!

My first guess would be to see what pressure the pump is putting out,
followed by knowing what pressure it goes to when you add the electric
pump.
Next I would check the fuel passageway on the inlet to the carb, paying
special attention to the small opening above the float needle valve.
>From there I would have to rethink..
When using only the pulse pump does adding the enrichener help?

Haven=99t tried the enrichener. Will have to find a pressure gauge. W
hat=99s odd is I=99ve taken off 3 times on just the pulse pump
with lots of power, climb to 300 feet to level off and then is when it star
ts cutting out so I flip the electric on, land, and go back to the drawing
board. I think I=99ll just pull the carbs and clean them.

I have ran a 447- 2-503's, and an HKS on a Firestar. With my fuel line
routing the pulse pump has never been enough to run the engine on full
throttle. Leave the electric on, it won't hurt anything. Your pulse is not
capable or intended to lift that high. I think? that the fuel source is
supposed to be within 18 inches of the pump.. Only 700 hours on my Facett
so far.

Up until recently it has ran fine on the pulse pump but started cutting out
so I replaced all the lines, the filter, and pump thinking the pump was go
ing bad. Got to quit testing for a while as the weather is deteriorating
now. Thx!

I have ran a 447- 2-503's, and an HKS on a Firestar. With my fuel line rout
ing the pulse pump has never been enough to run the engine on full throttle
. Leave the electric on, it won't hurt anything. Your pulse is not capable
or intended to lift that high. I think? that the fuel source is supposed to
be within 18 inches of the pump.. Only 700 hours on my Facett so far.

You indicated that you had replaced the pump. Are you sure the replacement was
a good one? I would consider rebuilding the original pump. Easy, simple and
cheap.
If turning the electric on eliminates the problem, I wouldn't suspect venting.
You could tie it down and run it like you would on take off. If and when it cuts
out, shut it down without turning the electric pump on and drop the bowls.
Bowls dry? Both or one? May be a clue there.
Worth what you paid for it..... your results may vary....

I=99m going to pull the electric fuel pump and maybe back flush it .
There could be some restriction there as it=99s in series with the pu
lse pump. The manual says it should be in parallel though it=99s been
working a long time in series with no problems. I=99m thinking I sh
ould just lower the pulse pump too.

OK, I tied her up filled the carbs with the electric pump, shut the electric
off, and run it wide open. It started sputtering in a minute or so and I
shut her down. Both bowls near empty. For whatever reason the pulse pump
isn't working right. It will maintain an idle or a bit more on the pulse
pump. I did fill the fuel tanks full up to see if maybe raising the fuel
level closer to the pump would help. Still no good. Disconnected the fuel
lines at the tank and at the filter and blew the fuel out of them backwards
into a clear glass jar. Clean as a whistle. Looks like neither one of the
pulse pumps are worth a crap.

Don't know if your tank outlet into the fuel system is a grommet at the bottom
that drains out, or a pickup that hangs down from the top, but either way, if
you have a bug/grass strainer as part of that pickup/outlet, check that.

Talking to Travis...He indicated that motor mounts cost 45 bucks each..
$180 the set.
Here is my solution. I noticed that the Trike that I bought had the
two part rubber style...and having a box of those...I decided to make
use of them on the Firefly...Just a square of 6061 with 4 holes and a
large hole to accommodate the rubber through mount.... I have new ones
but managed to use some older ones , will change them out later on. Free
vs 180 bucks...I can handle that...

Did you replace the pulse line? If so how long is the replacement and what hose
did you use? The pulse line needs to be as short as possible and of a stiff thick
wall material. A long and or flexible ( such as regular fuel line) pulse
line will absorb the pulse energy and the pump will not work properly.
