Nearing completion on my 0-200 conversion and my mechanic ran into a small delema.When testing the elec. fuel pump operation per the STC the fuel pump warning light is suppost to be off as long as it is pumping fuel & pressure stays above 10psi(Believe this to be correct,don't have paper work with me at present).Restrictor is located on output port of pump & fuel is being pumped but light still stays on.Even installed a back up fuel pressure guage(part of my own back up securities) & it shows no pressure.Took fuel hose off at pump output port & blocked off to see if light would go off & it did not also no pressure was indicated on my 15psi fuel pressure guage.Did notice that the elec. pump is a piston driven pump & not a rotary style pump.Now I am a Master Certified auto mechanic & in this business for over 25 years now but I still let the A/P mechanics do my aircraft work, after all it's there ass up for grabs if anything goes wrong,but I have never seen a piston type pump deliver over 10psi.Wonder if I was sent the wrong pump with the STC conversion kit from Skyport. Saturday night right now & cannot call them to find out. Will have to wait till Monday to give them a call.All you 0-200 owners out there,how is your system behaving,what style pump is being used & am I correct on the 10psi turn on point of the fuel warning light.You can post any answers or e-mail me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] .Can't wait to get her in the air again and see what performance I have gained.This is the second ercoupe I have the pleasure to own and is in my opinion the best 2 seat airplane ever built. Too bad they scrapped the idea of the newer 4-seat version that Alon had. Everybody-enjoy the good times. Larry Ulshafer owner N99916 46 415-C soon to be an 0-200 415-D.
