That'sthe way it worked on my '69 Spider. My trimmer uses aerosol brake cleanerfor applications like this because it does the trick and it's volatile,leaving little or no residue.

Hi all,Well, the new fuel pump has arrived. Tomorrow we will attempt thereplacement.B Questions:Assuming it's sensible to replace all the flexible fuel lines at the sametime, what size fuel line do I need and how many feet of it?From what I've been able to find, the fuel pressure averages about 17psi, so a30-50psi rated line should be OK? It looks like some of it is 8mm (5/16-inch)inside diameter and some is 12.7mm (1/2-inch) inside diameter? How much do Ineed of each?Thanks!ColinB ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2015 15:25:16 +0000 (UTC)From: [email protected]: [alfa] valve lash tool DIASS C60168 Gentle Alfisti,Anyone familiar with how to use the Alfa factory valve lash gauge? It appears to require calibration. You set it against a cam follower, so the reading occurs at half the follower's diameter. The very tip of the feeler mikes at .3mm. The rear-most sliding scale has a vernier and is adjustable. Some advice would be appreciated. modelle105.04 g.d., 115.02 spica mechanical fuel injection ------------------------------ End of alfa-digest V10 #2726**************************** -- to be removed from alfa, see http://www.digest.net/bin/digest-subs.cgi or email "unsubscribe alfa" to [email protected]
