A side view of the installation. Tomorrow I'll be trying to complete the installation of the new control column mounted brake master cylinder. If that is done and I have working brakes, we may try an engine run.

The pump bolted in like it was made for the Rotax. Added hose and fuel pressure regulator. Oops, the regulator will have to be turned so the big grey thing is down, not up. Oh well, just a test fit for now.

2010 06 06 - Made up an adaptor that fits the bleed and doesn't leak. Began to run fluid into the system. Went up to the master cylinder/reservoir to check on progress. Was I getting bubbles through the bit of fluid it put in back on the 3rd?

I dug out a bunch, and came to the conclusion that I'm going to have to order a new brake line and clean out the master cylinder before I can continue here. So I went on to the new mechanical fuel pump installation...

I located a couple AN-6 adaptors to replace the hose barbs on the regulator. The adaptors are from Earl's (anplumbing.com), part #AT985006ERL for the black one and 995006ERL for the blue one. They are called AN "O" Ring Port Adaptors, AN-6 to

A phone call to Dan at CorbiAir resolved the first two problems. The pump is designed to REPLACE an existing pump which would have a 950 226 or 950 227 spacer/gasket in place. This would hold the pump off that edge. And if there were a pump in place, t
