Att: Marcel,
I look forward to any info you can get. What disgusts about my strainer is:
1. What is that black stuff inside the strainer? All pictures i have seen indicates that the stuff is whiter than white.
2. The gauze enclosing the whole strainer is quite intact. I dipped the strainer without dismantling it in a glass vessel filled with petrol and the petrol stayed very clear. That is unlike the colour of the petrol drained from the other side. I also dipped the strainer in carb cleaning fluid and liquid turned immediately coffee black.
Att: Sam,
Interesting observations. My bike too has just one TPS for the whole system. I will be replicating your settings experiments eventually but at the moment I think it makes more sense for me to resolve the fuel filter issue first.
Thank you for the link you forwarded. The price of $18 for the strainer is not too bad but shipping at $25 is shocking. I am in Europe so I need to find a supplier closer to home to reduce shipping costs.
In the meantime, whilst enquiring about filters at the local carparts suppliers I picked up on of these ( only $1). This obviously will not handle the 5Bar Marcel mentioned earlier but I am considering beefing up the filter housing with fibre glass tape and resin. The filter ends appear to be strong enough to handle the pressure but the cylinder part no. The plan is to wrap Fibre Glass tape several times round the cylinder area.
Is this a daft idea? At $1 it may be worth the trial if I don’t cause damage elsewhere.
