when i first bought my R it had a standard fuel pump. when opening the fuel cap there would be a vacuum hiss.
i had a walbro fitted some time ago and the hiss stopped.
at the time i did wonder about this a bit, i thought the screw top on the tank may have been loose but on trying to move it by hand it appeared to be tight.
decided to have a look at it today with regards to re-wiring the pump and found that the dip that the two wires were in had a bit of petrol in it it :shock: i filled the car thursday. myself nor anyone thats been in the car has noticed a smell of petrol :? i guess if there' s a vacuum leak in the lid it' d suck air into the tank right :?:
now as stated i didnt fit the pump, this is because im a numpty that wants to live
i took a hammer and a blunt non metallic object to the lid and knocked it round a further 2/3' s of a turn.
is this likely to have been the problem or is there anything else to look for?
