Title: VX Engine commision (or not) Post by: blazer_one on April 28, 2010, 06:05:04 PM HELP!
i have just finished rebuilding my vx and though i had it running before it went to the painters, i could'nt get it running when it came back so booked it into the local engine tuneing garage for him to sort. Anaylsis 1. fuel pump is knackered and not giving any pressure. Any ideas where i can source one (cheap if poss) 2. accelerator diaphagrm is split. Again any ideas where i can get this part or even a full repair lit. 3.it needs a new alternator belt. am i right in assuming that a std belt for a 2000 twin cam will fit the vx engine. thanks again in advance for any help. simon ps any chance of getting spell check!

they will also have pumps but ebay might be a better bet if you know the pressure required. Easiest way to get the belt is take the old one into any accessory store they can measure against a new one then just keep a note of the number.

don't know the pressure for the pump but as there is a tank return before the regulator I would think it should be 7psi as weber carbs normally run on 3.5 psi. The guys at Eurocarb will know anyway. Sorry, should have confirmed receipt of the lights, all rec'd thanks, been away upsetting the Germans, Gamma meeting in Stuttgart (456 mls in 5.5 hours, I love de-restricted autobahns) Geoff Title: Re: VX Engine commision (or not) Post by: blazer_one on April 29, 2010, 10:28:24 PM Geoff

3 bar/ 45 psi seems a very high pressure for a carburetor hope your pressure regulator is up to the job. Still, Eurocarb do know what they are doing. Geoff |
