Title: Facet pump noisy, Regulator leaky HELP!!
Post by: dajwid on March 27, 2011, 10:05:30 PM

Facet pump and Sytec pro-fro regulator fitted, looks very nice BUT!!!

Are the pumps always so noisy until primed? Click Click Click .............

Should there be some sort of seals/washers on the regulator, where the brass fittings fit, mine leaks, not from the hoses as very well clamped.

Any ideas ??????

The clicking is normal until the carb is full but if you have a leak this will take longer, Try fitting some fibre washers see if it helps What harm can it do?

The pumps are noisy if they are mounted solidly to the body mine came with some rubber washers which quietens it down a little, To seal the 2 adapters that screw into the pump you can use PTF plumbers tape, Its a thin tape which you wrap round the threads, Then screw the adapter in with the tape wrapped round the threads This seals the threads and stops leakage.

Try it on 2.5 if you think its sluggish at the top end you can notch it up to 3.0 Most weber carbs run a maximum of 3.5
