Gents,

Last couple of days I have had a go at the fuel pump. Installed the vacuum pump from a Yamaha and altered the fuel lines. Btw, my Paso is the Cali model with the digiplex. As you will probably know the digiplex is activated by the vacuum from the manifold. Two tubes are connected to the manifold, see number 49 below. These two tubes are joined together with a plastic T and one tube will continue to the digiplex.



In my new setup I only used one connection for the digiplex (mainfold vert cyl) and one connection for the fuel pump (manifold hor cyl). My question is if this will effect the timing advancement from the digiplex. Don’t really know if the vacuum of both sides are needed.. Like to hear your opnion

Here some pictures of the vacuum pump modification. Return line to the tank is eliminated. Startup is much approved. I'll have to test the setup of mains, idle jets etc. again

Here the new lines installed. The orange line is the vacuum from the right side of the manifold to the pump. The blue lines supposed to be the flow of fuel from tank to pump to weber.

nice job. I don`t think it makes a difference for the Digiplex if it is only connected to one side of the carb manifold.
Afterall there might two connections only because of the necessity to connect a carb balancer.

Tx Gerhard,

I couldn't resist to have another go at the manifold. Below the current setup. Drilled a hole and fitted a third tube for maximum vacuum to the pump. I was considering to drill out the m6 bolt as shown in drawing above, nr 56. As you probably will know the left one goes through the manifold into the channel. I have a lathe, but this small tubing is a b%tch to create myself.

Gents,

This is how she runs right now. Pretty pleased with the result. She starts at the first turnover and she responds better between 0-3500 rpm.
