Pump Running In reverse
Good Day JetCat Folks
This is a new one!
Started the P60 on Friday ran fine no problem...
Try starting it today after doing absolutly nothing to the setup except getting my Vid camera ready to film in daylight and it would not start..Seen an airbubble forming right at the turbine inlet festo..so watched it grow attempt after attemp..so then purged the Fuel to get rid of the bubble...pump works fine...
But on start it runs backwards and you can see the fuel tube empting the fuel at the same rate it should be pumping into the model...
please tell me how this happened and how to fix it...
all help greatly appreaciated
Thanx
Haydn

RE: Pump Running In reverse
your pump doesnt run the other way

your pump is sticky
try to raise the uaccel 1 a bitt

Hi Martin
definatly running in reverse, Did that and the fuel runs the other way.The fuel line is not plugged into the Turbine At all so nothing to do with preasure from the Turbine..
thanx for the suggestion anyway
cheers

PS when I purge the pump it runs in the correct direction...when its in run mode and you do the small incuments for pump run speed ..its backwards

Righto Found the Fault!
The Pump is knakkered ..Had A mates one here so pluged that one in and everything worked like the manual says! Turns out the running backwards was the fuel tank causing a siphon action ...
glad I found it!
cheers
