Re: Fuel flow problem?

I checked the filter and there are no particles caught. I also blew out the fuel filler neck vent tube, there was dirt in it, and increased the fuel pressure on the Filterking pressure regulator. He's running great so far, but if the problem comes up again, I will check the tank, fuel lines, and may...

Re: Fuel flow problem?

I didn't know that there is a filter near the tank. The strainer is clean and new. Where is the other filter?

Fuel flow problem?

Hello, Here is another problem that just came up. When driving in higher RPMs the engine occasionally throttles back, as if on a governor, or starving. If I just kept the gas pedal pressed, it would consistently reduce RPM and with that, speed as well. Once I am standing at idle, which runs just fin...

Planetary gear leak?

I am noticing oil streaks running down the inside of the front right tire. When tracing it down, I can see that it is coming form somewhere between the wheel and where it mounts onto the planetary gear. Looking at the explosion drawings, I can't really see how may seals/gaskets there are. Does/did a...

Snow chains

After no longer having the original military tires on my c303, I am looking for a recommendation for some decent snow chains, easy to install. BTW, I have a set of original snow chains inside their respective green bags. Anyone interested?

Can't move rear diff locker lever

All right, I am a c303 owner, yet I am posting here.... My father in law owns a Pinz 710 model, and we were unable to move the rear diff lever down. We opened the rear diff hydraulic drain, exercised the lever down, hydraulic fluid streamed out as we were moving the lever, tightened up the screw, an...

Re: Running hot due to Flamethrower Coil?

Thanks. I will check the timing.
Vince , I let off the accelerator knowing that that speed can't be right for the old boy. He likes to run at 60 long distance.

Re: Running hot due to Flamethrower Coil?

Thanks guys for all the answers. I suspected that a hotter burn will increase the temp of the engine. Maybe I will keep the coil for winter and reduce the voltage for the summer. Measurement was done by looking at my trusted temp indicator. After I installed the new coil, I was letting off the accel...

Running hot due to Flamethrower Coil?

Hello,

I installed the Flamethrower coil and can tell a difference in 20000V versus 40000V. However, it appears that the engine runs about 15 degrees Celcius hotter with the stronger coil. Is this normal?

Thanks!

Fuel Pressure Regulator

Hello, I have successfully found a cheap alternative to replace my Filter King fuel pressure regulator insert. Piercemanifolds.com has the filters and the whole Malpassi Filter King assembly for a great price without having to import from overseas. However, now that I installed the new paper insert,...
