Got the facet electronic fuel pump I ordered finally and installed and tested it tonight.
$100 but worth it compared to the two pieces of crap I tried for half the price from Amazon.
Happily, the 4-7psi range doesn’t overwhelm the Mikuni floats which was my only worry.
Now I will have reliable fuel delivery.. if only my wheels were back so I could cruise.
Feedback on them is that all four were bent, as expected, but were straighten-able.
More likely next week now though before I get them back."Depression is just anger,, without the enthusiasm."

I’m trying to get the car to the point I can hit them at 70,m again, heheh.
Although to be honest, I’ve yet to hit a one. I can’t speak for the previous 2 owners though.
Had her up to temp in the garage last night and further checking for drips led me to retorque the oil filter assy hardware as there were a few drips coming down the side again. Seems these Brit’s do love to seep, more than just a cute rumor or catch phrase.
This weekend is all about getting yard winter ready. Realize as I get older that sooner is better when it comes to yard clean up. Always sux after it gets cold and the leaves start to drop.
Have a good weekend lads!"Depression is just anger,, without the enthusiasm."

Wanted to do this for a while so picked up a fire ring and set it into the upper deck patio.
Will really extend the evening outdoor comfort.
I’ll surround and build up the outside with a rock ring to blend into the deck, but the galvanized steel ring sure throws out the heat!"Depression is just anger,, without the enthusiasm."

It looks funky, but the best one I have experienced was an old washer drum with all the perforations.
If you get air in, it will fire-up. I guess some rocks around that would work. If it smokes too much, consider a few holes around the base
Nothing like a fire on a brisk night!

Old washer drum, hell what a neat idea. I was considering some vent hole around the base but the test fire lit right up without them and without significant smoke.
Once I select the perimeter rocks I might still add some @ 90’ points anyway fir drainage.
The ring's 24” diameter as it stands, but once the stones added, it’ll net out around 30” finished diameter. Plus the rocks will hold and throw the heat of the fire.
Large enough fir the area without being too big a pit.
