Fellow Europaphiles,
So far, my tests with the Billet Mechanical Fuel pump have been excellent.
Unfortunately,
I elected to make two modifications at the same time; fuel pump and
brake. The brake mod is almost complete but I have been having problems getting
all the air from the system. Can't really test the pump till I have a viable
brake. I'll be back at the hanger in the morning and back to bleeding the
brake trying to get the air out of the lines. Once I have brakes, I can
complete
testing of the pump and I hope to have two excellent modifications for you
to see: 1) a high-performance mechanical fuel pump for the 914 and 2) an
improved
brake system for the monowheel.
Soooooo close... Hopefully, good report and good pics to post tomorrow.
Check six,
Bob Borger

the replacement mechanical fuel pump for 914 a/c. I thought it might be
interesting
for some. Bob Borger is the one to ask, and he has details on Billet pumps,
