My name is Robert and I'm from the south of Bavaria. I have been the proud owner of an M462RF for a couple of weeks now. It's not intended for use in an aircraft, but it should run on a test stand for demonstration purposes. Construction is progressing well, but I'm not entirely sure about the routing of the fuel lines. As far as I understand, the path is from the tank to the fuel pump and on to the carburetor. I also have a connection for the pressure gauge on the carburetor and a drain connection on the fuel pump. What I am missing is a connection for a return line (from the carburetor?) though some kind of flow throttle back to the tank. Or is that not necessary? with kind regards, Robert Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=501309#501309 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 03:04:43 AM PST US From: "Richard Goode" Subject: RE: M14PEngines-List: Fuel connection layout Yes, the design of these carburettors is that they accept fuel until they are full in the fuel chamber and then the excess returns to the tank, and this should be plumbed in in this fashion, otherwise too much fuel will be in the carburettor and causing a mixture that is too rich. The larger connection is the primary supply from the fuel pump and then the smaller connection is a return to the tank.

It is an M4 62 which is basically at AI 14 engine with M 14 P cylinders. As you probably realize the AI 14 did not have a fuel return system. The fuel pump has a regulated pressure and thats all its needed. None of the yak 12s, PZL 101s Wilgas etc. had any fuel return system. There was a hard line between the outlet of the fuel pump in the inlet of the carburetor. The only other connection to the carburetor was for the fuel pressure. In my experience The fuel return system was for aerobatic aircraft and was more to remove air bubbles from the system.

I had not yet seen such an item nor can I find anything that even resembles a fuel return outlet. I closely examined 3 M14P's today including a new, never flown, Series 2 which I am currently installing on a CJ6. Negative; Fuel intake wise they are all identical. The only "fuel return" is to the pressure indicating system and that of course comes from the fuel pump, not the carburetor. What would be the purpose of a carburetor fuel return given that the standard rotary fuel pump relief valve by-passes all excess fuel internally?
