Gabe used his own as I only sent him the turbine with no electronics. I'm just now taking a look at my fuel lines and checking everything. Just at a glance, when I pulled the lines off the shut off valve, I couldn't really see through it. Also, as far as the pump is concerned, I'm assuming it's a 400. There are no markings on it other than the "Flight Works" label. How do you determine which pump it is?
Thanks,
Steve
The 400 series pump is considerably larger than the 200 series. The 300/400 series pumps are cylindrical whereas the 100/200 series pumps have a sort of rectangular shape to them..... See here for the differences:

If there is any sort of restriction in the line at all, beit upstream or downstream of the pump, you'll find it somewhat difficult to get max rpms, if you've seen inside the solenoid valves you'll understand what I mean, hence the need to be anal with your filtering. If the fuel lines and/or fittings look to be in poor shape, it may be prudent to replace them.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Smithy.
