lA 14/2 thermostat
I have just removed what looks like it might be an original thermostat from my 1939 roadrider de luxe. On testing in hot water it opens perfectly smoothly but doesn't seem to close off completely when cold. It looks like the sealing disk is on a threaded shaft for adjustment, but has been soldered i...

Re: fuel pump
thanks for those comments. I posted around december that I couldnt work out how my pump was supposed to work, there was no "feeling" of connection between the priming lever and the valve, the side spring was broken and the only way i could get the priming lever to actuate the piston was to...

fuel pump
hi,
I'm still having issues with the mechanical pump on the 1939 DB18-1 and am considering going to an electric pump, any advice, suggestions of what type and where from etc would be appreciated. Thanks. Robert

Re: DB18-1 fuel pump
thanks for this.
Interestingly my priming lever is at the side, not the bottom of the fuel pump as shown in the DB18 handbook and also on the diagram you mention. Something more to work on though!

Re: DB18-1 fuel pump
Hi, thanks for the replies. As best as I can.... Only picked up the whole pile of parts last month. The engine is fully assembled and back in the car as it came and I was told it had run ok, albeit in 2007. Just going through usual checks before actually trying to fire it up. The pump was already fi...
