Title: Fuel Pressure
Post by: Jsw on December 31, 2009, 11:41:09 AM
Has anyone ever used a small inline booster pump to help the cylinders to share the load evenly on a 24/2 made by poweranand?  What pressure is best? What gallons per hour?

I daresay someone has, but it was absolutely no use whatsoever.  It would have nothing at all to do with the issue stated, so would not make a scrap of difference, ever (that would not be corrected by normal maintenance).

Forget any idea like this and revert to checking pump timing, fuel rack adjustment, injector pop pressures, etc.  Twins have run perfectly evenly with regard to load sharing (when adjusted correctly) for the past 70 years.  In actual fact one may detect a very small difference due to the 90/270 timing, if one were trying to measure miniscule increments of change, but that is another dead-end issue as it cannot be changed, anyway, due to the design.

Have happy new year and have fun adjusting your engine if it is load-sharing poorly.
