Manfred's TR1. Discussion Boards

Hi all,
For those of you still running standard vacuum taps, petcocks, Benzinhahn or whatever you want to call them (as I am)...

Just after I bought my TR1, I was about to head out for a ride and I noticed pretty extreme pulses in the fuel passing through the fuel pipes. I was sure that this was due to the un-damped vacuum from the intake manifolds to the fuel taps pulling the tap diaphragms in then releasing them. I was also sure this was not healthy for those rubber diaphragms. So I set about sourcing some dampers. Basically none were easily adaptable, so I put my thinking hat on and came up with the solution you can see here..

I have been running these for a year with no adverse effects and though it about time to share the simple fix. I made another set for your enjoyment ;)

Hope you find it useful.

Cheers all,
