Default RE: perry pump for OS 120 AX - does it help


ORIGINAL: Stuntpilot51

I'm running a Perry pump on my 120 AX and it works fine.
If your using a pitt's muffler you will eventually need to put one on due to the lack of pressure from the pitt's causing a leaning condition half way thru the tank. Or if you have the tank mounted on the CG and your fuel lines are long.
I have a .75 ax and have got some good info to tune it properly . I do have a Slimline Pitts for it and was going to use it when I fix the frontend of my Edge and redo the motor position . I want reliability and was looking into the perry pump . I guess you have to drill a hole into the crankcase to mount a pressure line ???? That sounds like you have to tear the motor apart to insure no shavings will be inside after
drill and tapping . Or is the backplate of the motor what the fitting hooks up to , this would be easier ??? What is the method you used and the style pump ? Pics if you have them please .

I am a machinist so I have the capability but the Perry website realy blows and doesn't give much info . I also am hesitant to void my warranty and drill into a brand new motor . I was thinking of moving the tank back to so I might need this . I also looked at the Cline website but it looks like there closing shop due to heath issues .
