Grunda 12 "Slosh" is getting good reports, yes that really is it's name.

Hello group

The bike is a 1995 500cc bullet with a mikcarb, so sticking a fuel filter might negatively affect the fuel line and cause other problems??

Thanks

Remember there`s a tap filter in the tank hopefully in good condition,Allan R pic shows the tap outlet pipe at 6 o,clock (like mine)is yours the same or at 3 o,clock?

Hi guys,------------ PAT, that photo is my 2005 Classic 500 with an uprated Mikcarb VM28 and the filter does not detract the performance or cause any other problems...JAFFA--that's an Indian Home Market fuel tank and, as the tap came already fitted I'm assuming it's also an Indian item...The lever is shown in the "off" position, with "on" being straight down and "Res" when facing forwards....

Hello GRUNDA, ------------ Yes, diesel fuel filtering is a whole lot more vital than petrol (carb type)... I spent many years with our good friend, the CI engine ---- RN, Brit.Rail. GPO, ( that dates me !!) MoD, plus running the Marine Eng. Dept. for the local Sea Scouts...After working on any diesel fuel system ALWAYS wash your hands several times because if you should clap them --------- you might start-up !!!

Alan,that`s the same tap as mine (export model),i`m talking about a tap with an OUTLET pipe at a right angle.

Hello JAFFA90, ------ the only tap that I know of with a horizontal outlet ie @90 degrees is shown on page 181 of the catalogue, and that's the Karcoma model (141209)--- BUT it has a FEMALE thread of a smaller diameter than the other taps...You might need an adaptor..

[Pat]

Hey group…it might sound silly but after installing the filter, fuel is not running down into the filter and then into the carb ....it seems that air has been trapped into the filter
Any ideas???
Thx
Pat

Is the in-filter in a vertical position and the correct way up? Does it have a directional arrow stamped on it?

[Pat]

Yes Jaffa 90 the filter is in a vertical position and the directional arrow is pointing down
