New MC-4A 11

2012 04 09 Well, after 4 weeks and buckets of DOT5 spent trying to make the Jaymar master cylinders work I have given up. They are just crap. So I'm taking the base of their base and building a new brake master setup using MATCO MC-4A master cylinders.

Remove the Billet pump from the circuit. Run with only electric pump. Input line connected directly to the regulator. At the same time, remove airbox pressure from differential gauge to get absolute fuel pressure out of regulator.

Requests to check the fuel delivery system. Started with the gascolator. Any large quantity of crap in the gascolator? Here's the fuel from the gascolator in the test vessel. A tiny bit of black crud from who knows what. But not enough to cause a pro
