Steve use to tell me "just put it to the wood & forget it".Amazingly in my case that worked.The simple fact remains that the denso does not have to spin the rpms that the others do to push the same volume at a given pressure.The denso pump body main be close to twice the volume of the other pumps (like walbro).

Beginning to sound like ttipe is right.  I think the pump is okay...probabl y a relay or wiring problem.  More news at 11 :)

You could always go to his house and beat him up. :add_wegbrech:

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

It has always been tough to be correct when "splainin"to the radius.I still can't figure out how John,Steve & I didn't do one stitch of work on someones car that time at Quaker.As for you "Sir Radius" you need to quit being such a "cheaky bugger" and mind your elders.

Sorry big guy. :chin:
As to working on someone else's car,always remember:
 
If you do and something goes wrong....you're the goat.

That's what I told a border guard from the US a few years ago when he thought I was going to Columbus to work on race cars.
No Sir,I let them make their own messes. :icon_smile:

A little cheaper if ordered from China/HK. Hackable to 100Mhz.
WE have a couple- quite usable.
