 |
|
Pardon my ignorance on fuel injections, but here's how
the routing goes:
Fuel out of the firewall to servo. (I'm assuming the
servo is where the mixture cable plugs into)
There are two lines that go from the servo the to the
divider (the thing on the sump where a carb would go,
and where the spider is..the spider is on the bottom
of my engine, not on the top like most). One fuel
line to the left side, and one to the right (or from
one side, as a return)
Then there is a third line out of the servo back to
the fuel selector or tee that fills the left tank.
Not sure of the make..there is a data tag on it that I
briefly read the other day but it wasn't anything
familiar.
There is a fuel pressure transducer from the original
installation on one of the lines from the servo to the
divider, so I'm assuming that's where I'll put my fuel flow.

Yep...this is not a bendix system, and the name eludes me right now. I have
seen it before and and the spider and lines are on the bottom side as you
describe. I have service instructions for this type of system, if I look it
up in my foot thick stack of Lycoming service instructions I should be able
to tell you what it is tonight....

Thanks, Bob. Yeah, it's definately not a bendix
system, but it works very well...never any vapor lock
and starts on the first blade every time, after 16
years of service and 800 hours. Can't find anyting in
the logbook regarding maintenance issues.

Paul, I'm guessing its a Simmonds fuel injection system, in the picture the
fuel distributor (spider) is part of the servo. SI1040A is titled
"Maintenance procedures applicable to Simmonds #530 fuel injection system."
Its a two pager with not much useful info.
