I converted mine to electric about 20 years ago.  Was on the road and the fuel pump went out, a “universal” electric replacement was the only thing the local auto parts store which I could walk to had in stock that would fit. It was on a weekend and could not have gotten a OEM mechanical replacement until Monday.  Have removed mechanical pump a…[Read more]

the problems are in the last month 2 months  towed 3 times 1st tow replaced fuel pump 2nd tow no gas to carb.unhooked fuel line going in to pump a steady stream of gas into bucket, no gas comming out of pump no pressure out of pump  3rd tow hose nipple out of pump loosened up finally got it going . Just a frustation

Just back on this forum and catching up. Did you ever find a car? If not we should talk.

What kind of problems are you having and are you sure it’s from the pump? These things are pretty reliable.

There is also a Bus part that looks like it might work.That might be my next try.

CMC, Fiberfab, Allison cars all have roomier engine bays and more clearance for air cleaners, whether you’re running a PICT single carb or duals. The BCWs weakness is in the tight engine bay, though it does give a slightly more “original TD”-like look.

Perhaps something with a built in angled flange on the filter.http://www.knfilters.com/search/univround.aspx

Not there yet but does anyone with a CMC TD with a stock 1600 have the same clearance issues? If noclearance issues then I’m good. If there are clearance issues I’ll have some time to plan some sort of design. Thanks.

I second the applause!

1. You can reach the spark plugs from the sides/wheel wells.1.a. I think the “gas tank” bits can be removed, as can the metal tube frame, but I’ve never had cause to do that. PM me if you need more on that & I’ll dig out the assembly manual.2. Toggle bolts! excellent idea. I’d use the kind the sell for pickup truck beds. 2.a. If you want access go…[Read more]

Well, I’m 69 and my CMC is early in its assembly stage. Also I ride a Ninja ZX1400, I’m glad I’m not the only ole phart on here:).

I applaud your ingenuity.

Any way you can get a wrench on the socket? I ask because the older sockets for spark plugs had the standard 3/8 drive and had wrench flats that you could use either a box end, open end, or crescent wrench on. Also the original VW tool kit uses a socket with a hole through the sides to slip in the metal bar to tighten and loosen the spark plug as…[Read more]

I did a little jury rigging on the air intake filter today.  The original system used a piece of flexible heater  hose to the area in front of the engine to the right looking from the back of the vehicle.  There was a pvc elbow through a hole and a wire mesh tube hanging down from that. Looks like there once was some type of filter over that wi…[Read more]
