  View original topic: kadron 3000 rpm nozzle drip
QRP Thu May 15, 2014 8:55 pm

having a little problem with my kadron here.
at about 3000 rpm fuel is being pulled out of the pump nozzle on the 1 & 2 side but not the 3 & 4 side.
I read the posts about the nozzle position in relation to the vent and both are about the same.
I tried to move it up about as far up as I could without breaking it but even at abour 1/4'' above the vent rim the 1 & 2 is still pulling out fuel from the nozzle above 3000. :?

JEFF I NEED HELP !

Is the check ball missing, or not able to move as it should?

check the check ball, the fuel level, washer thickness same side to side, and fuel pressure, and the accelerator pump linkages. Is the synch ok?

fuel pressure is at 2 lbs
pump linkage looks the same on both sides.
next i will double check the check ball

the bug seems to run pretty good but just the idea of the fuel coming out of the nozzle right at the engines happy spot just bugs the s%$t out of me.

thanks for the input.

Well I fixed the problem.
when the other side started to do the drip also I just gave up.

FYI - this was an easy fix - if you had searched, you would have found the answer. Selling your old Kads? Might be interested.......
