haha looks awesome yours pal,
as for my issues....still no further forward :laugh:
taken vac pipe off regulator....fine,looks almost new,not cracked,split,nowt!
also,the problem i had mentioned befor that i thought i had fixed...clearly not,its flooding again without the choke flap in.....aaaarrrgggh!
I can't post a link as I'm on my phone but just search for "solex 2,0" and it should come up in the results!

took it for a spin to check,veeeery hesitant,even when off boost,with very high AFR's (17-20 !)
drove about a mile and it started kangerooin like mad,AFR went throgh the roof,then died.....
so guessing the fuel pump's coughed its last breath of optimax :sad: would i be correct in this assumption? havent taken things to bits yet,managed to get it started and splutter home but judging by the afr's and the way it was reacting am goone say pump
also,all this happened within the sace of say 5-10 mins? never once went over 2.5k and never on boost so internals should be ok? no scored pistons etc?
new pump fitted,problem persists!
what now? dont realy want to drill the needle out as i havent done anything to make it require it to be done, feels like am just masking the problem?
Is the pick up strainer in the tank blocked or the tank full of sheit? doubt it will be anything to do with the needle valve. Things like this can be so frustrating :mad:Quote:

Did you find out what the fuel pressure was like at the carb?
You need to check FP at the carb to make sure it's ok, then you are looking at blocked pipe somewhere, blockage in tank, dodgy FPR, duff carb, dodgy fuel pump relay or wiring, check the voltage to this stays constant under load etc....
Sorry if some of this has been covered just glanced the thread..
Also did you change the fuel filter & put it back in the right way round??
