Subject: 10s fuelpump?


Hi all,

>I am tired on the starting problem with my AT.

So am I. Definetely.

>for 10 seconds. Does anyone think this would be to long time?

I tried a manual switch for test purposes to manually switch the pump on. 
After a few seconds the pump rans slowlier and then after about 5 seconds 
finally stops pumping at all. I presume, that the carburetor closes the 
fuel inlet and the pump won't pump against the closed carburetor swimmer 
valve (Schwimmernadelventil). BTW: It makes a funny noise, this pump. ;-)

But after that short period of pumping my @ started as if it were just 
standing for one day, not for one week as it stood. I closed the choke and 
after one turn of the motor it ran on both cylinders at once!

I would like to test this once more again, but in the moment I'm riding 
every day because of the dry and sunny weather (at 5 degrees celsius, but 
who cares!). ;-)

Yesterday I was in the Eifel and had 400km of fun! ;-) Great!!!

Today I looked after Raymonds pages on the net. First of all half of them 
is under construction or empty, two are the same even though they deal 
about different topics ;-) and unfortunately the are in Netherlands 
language, the english versions are not available, not translated or under 
construction, which means, not there. ;-)

I mailed him and let's see, what he answers.

take care - Marcello (rrr#52, ATIC#9, 13,486% Squid, KotFBL - Africa Twin)
