Re: Maddening Running Issue
Sell the fuel tank on ebay (or on here). That will fill a gap for somebody, and people value originality.

I'm looking for a pre-impact bumper 911S or other high-revving 911 to restore - please let me know if you see one.

If anyone wants it happy for it to go free to a good home. I’m not sure if it’s original or not. Sure someone with the skills and time could restore it. PM me if any interest.RobFrost wrote:Sell the fuel tank on ebay (or on here). That will fill a gap for somebody, and people value originality.

It's worth that all day long if original. If you give it away cheap/free a trader will only insert themselves between you and an enthusiast, and flip it for a profit.
You can always drop the price if no takers.
Failing that, put it to one side for the DDK swap meet.

Re: Maddening Running Issue
I’ll do that if I can work out its original. See below - three fittings - I presume the one on the right is the screen filter. There are no under tank fittings - did the originals have those?

Re: Maddening Running Issue
The allen key is the drain plug. The others - one is send and the other return I think. Looks original to me. Does it have a thick plasticky underseal type material all over it? Grey if I remember correctly.

Re: Maddening Running Issue
Yes the finish is thick underseal type - rough / pimpled. I’ll get some more images and see if anyone can positively ID. Don’t want to bill it as original if it’s not!

Re: Maddening Running Issue
So new pump is in, new tank is in and all set for Prescott Hillclimb Weekend with Gav P tomorrow. I never want to see a fuel tank again - a real saga getting that fitted - kept getting fuel leaks but sorted that with proper fuel clamps eventually. Such a tight / difficult space to work under the car. A ramp would have been very welcome!
However after an hour of running the hunting gremlin has returned. After 10 mins it’s OK again. I suspect the check control valve so if anyone in the SW London area has a spare or could lend me one for the weekend that would be amazing!
I will try the easy start down the intakes when I get the symptoms again to see if indeed it is fuel or something else!
Thanks all!

Re: Maddening Running Issue
So with thanks to GavP we traced my running issue to a faulty rev transducer / speed switch. Removed the wire to the solenoid on the MFI pump and no more hunting / cut out issues. 12 hours plus in the saddle this weekend and the car is pulling beautifully. No issues with back firing or over-run. Happy camper
