FUEL PRESSURE
Posted: Sun Sep 15, 2013 10:39 am
I tried the carburetor YS950 on my 134L and I could not adjust its operation because finally had always drowning.
Recently a friend lent me a new SOLEX carburetor and idle RPM up and down in cycles, similar to a large diesel engine.
In your manual recommends placing a pressure regulator calibrated to 1.75-2 PSI between the fuel pump and carburetor.
As I said I have no regulator, hoses tried to do in "Y" a return to the fuel tank, with a small homemade valve, and too a pressure gauge interspersed near the carburetor.
The initial pressure with the valve closed reaches approximately a 10PSI.
I was opening the return until the pressure gradually fell to the SOLEX manual recommended.
Indeed stabilized idle.
Before pressure testing empirically with 950YS would like to know what is the pressure that the pump must produce fuel for YS carburetors, engine both L 134 and F 134, and if relevant to its operation.
I estimate that if there is too much pressure, this will overcome the float on the needle.
Thanks for your opinions
