Got it in today all the while watching the So Cal dyno day. The BHR removal tool made it a breeze. Had a little issue getting the smaller hose with the blue clip off the pump but it just needed some coaxing.

Car is running great!!! Check out the shoot I did after in the multimedia section

 

****, now this premix stuff has me worried.

 

shyzenhousen !
what have you been using for premix ?

 

95% Lucas UCL, the last couple of tanks have been Lucas semi-synthetic low ash 2 stroke. I am not sure how much is the premix. This pump has 108,000 on it and there was a visible amount of dirt in the bottom of the pump assembly. I should also mention that 95% of the gas in my car has been Shell 93. A couple of tanks of Valero, Texaco, etc when there were no Shell stations around.

 

Lucas UCL FTL - LOL

 

Here is a pump that was in my tank since the Summer of 2006 until now and was ALWAYS exposed to pre-mix:



No deposits or any goo.

 

hrm.....what pre-mix are you using MM? How many oz per tank?

 

****, mine looks bad. I just filled up and put UCL in (local member bought me a couple quarts). MM do you just use Jaso rated 2 stroke?

 

No - I use the only thing that is intended to be used as a pre-mix on a rotary engine: Idemitsu.

 

I started premixing about a year ago. 4 oz of oil per tank. My tank and pump filter was clean.

 

Damn it. The evidence is pretty apparent. I will have to look for other filter socks and compare some more.

 

What do you use for premix al? Could it just be the years of dirt in the gas? 108,000 miles is a lot.

 

I should take mine out - 80,000km on a mixture of idemitsu and 2 stroke .

 

Take it out!

 

2 stroke oil, no special brand, never marine oil.

 

I need your tool (no homo)

 

Hmmm. Kinda what I had decided to go with prior to my pump replacement.

It's already boxed up and ready to go back to BHR

 

There's a post around here somewhere that says you can clean the filter with carb cleaner.

 

With a special SARX mod

 

That drop-in fuel pump + assembly looks nice

 

Thanks, it is working great

 

So is the required tool sent as a "loan" for installation?

 

It is an awesome service. BTW, did you get the tool back yet?

 

Cool! (Is it sanitized between uses??)

 

Maybe they'll do a water pump mod one day soon.
