Re: COOLING FUEL

I've never done it and haven't experienced any fuel related running problems with my M20...I just run on the standard lead free fuels available in garages...

I've not had problems with French fuel either over numerous Normandy trips...Ian

Re: COOLING FUEL

I have had these symptoms on several bikes and even my van when the diesel pump got blocked. The bike would run fine but the fuel wasn't filling up the float bowl as fast as I was using it. Then you stop and wait and the fuel fills up the carb again, so it runs again. Had this happen on my 16H, I cleaned out the fuel lines and the tank as there were fine black particles in it. Also drain the float bowl and check for bits. Another fuel starvation problem I had involved new petrol taps. Once used the rubber/cork swelled reducing the flow, I had to run an 1/8" drill bit by hand up it to open up the hole. So take the fuel line off and make sure you have a good flow from the taps. Have you tried running the bike with both taps on?

Re: COOLING FUEL

Hello Ian.

Do you have a "Paper" petrol filter anywhere on the line?
In the past, in order to stop bits and rust coming out with the petrol tank
To block the idle jet again and again, I fitted a small car petrol filter.
When driving in the city all was fine, but on the motorway, the petrol
Could not pass the filter fast enough to cover the petrol consumption,
As these filters are planned to be used in systems with pump, not gravity,
So I had the same symptoms.
I ended up fitting a large filter (about 2" in diameter) and that done the trick.
There are also mash inline filter which has no resistance,
But they usually block only bigger particles.

Noam.
