Fuel problem
Turbo Mini Forums

I read a lot in this forum, and I learned a lot thanks to you, now I have a problem that I can not solve and only you can help ....

I have one hiff n/a turbed whit an su kit, but when i start the engine the fuel don't go from the float (this is full of fuel) to the needle tube(sorry but I don't know the name in english)

I have the metro plenum and the turbo fuel regulatore...
all the pipe of the carbe is close...

someone can help me?

It could pay to strip the carb down and either rebuild it or clean it up if you cant get hold of a rebuild kit.

is it a turbo carb or a N/a carb? you say both about but im putting that down to your english (which is impressive by the way im sure i wouldnt be able to speak your language!) and not your inteligence/ability.

Sorry, I have an n/a carb sealed rebuild whit a turbo kit...

does the gasket between the carb and plenum have the extra hole thats lets the turbo pressure the float chamber?

if so is it the right way round?

I tried to start the engine without plenum and nothing

is fuel getting to the carb? what fuel pressure are you getting?

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

I can't set the pressure of the regulator if the engine don't start

Shit Happen's

in his first post it says there is fuel in the float chamber but not at the needle tube. mixture screw need adjusting? wrong needle? also could still be lack of fuel pressure? also if you cant work out whats wrong, was it rebuilt correctly?

Checked this?

Maybe the tee-piece trick is needed here?

Yes, I have a wron fuel pamp, facet solid state, but is just to start first time my engine....

I do not think that the Facet pump will provide enough pressure for the turbo fuel pressure regulator to work correctly.

You will need to get a high pressure pump.

If you just want to start the engine, then remove the turbo fuel regulator and connect the output of the Facet pump direct to carburetor.

The Facet pump is self regulating, so should alow you to run engine on idle.
