DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Worth checking the ignition basics 1st, points gap etc as this can lead to erratic tachometer. But you’ve probably done this already…

On the plus side, it’s low pressure!

19mm ID rubber petrol pipe, about 450mm long,
E10 proof. Goes between my tank and the EFI pump. Non standard due to the mix of parts on my car !!

Sorry, I’m going to have to cancel ! Scuppered by a short length of fuel pipe !! Oh well

Looks an interesting project. I too have an affinity for the imp, and have owned a few over the years. A more conventional conversion in the Imp world is the BMW bike engine and there is a company making a conversion for the imp transmission. The engine even sounds quite Imp like.

Drop a small qty of fresh fuel into each carb throat to make sure it’s a fuel issue. All else is good it should run for a short while.

I replaced my pipes with what I thought were ethanol proof pipes back in 2010. Sure enough they have started to crack. To be fair I have always just used std pump fuel, E5 going to E10. Oh well, gives me something to do !

The Imp is far more practical than the 875cc suggests, also has a strong youth following taking the Imp into all sorts of aspects of motorsport, hill climbs, sprints, racing and rallying. And then the modded cars are impressive too, including BMW bike engined cars. Worth a second look, but then I am...

For trials, the Imp is very good [emoji106]

When you are out for 3-4 hours these simple things make a difference! Like heated socks !
Yeti is a nice bike but haven’t seen 26’s on a trail for ages. At least the eBike gets you out to take in those views [emoji106][emoji41]

Not all electric and not all clean

And at least two imps [emoji106]
