1 Check delivery capacity of fuel pump during fuel return flow. For this purpose, unscrew fuel return hose (arrow) on fuel distributor.

2 Screw self-made fuel hose to fuel distributor and hold into measuring glass or cup.

3 Check delivery:

Mixture control unit with safety switch

Switch-on ignition. Pull cable plug from safety switch in mixture control unit and put cable plug back again after 30 seconds.

Mixture control unit without safety switch

Pull off fuel pump relay and bridge the two bushings (wiring diagram 07.3—120). This will provide voltage for fuel pump.

Pull off contact bridge after 30 seconds.

4 If the delivery volume is less than 1 liter/30 seconds, check the following items:

a)  Check strainer in feed connection of fuel distributor for passage.

b)  Check voltage at fuel pump.

Nominal value = min. 11.5 Volts (with engine stopped).

c)  Check fuel lines for restrictions (squeezed lines).

d)  Pinch leak line between fuel reservoir and intake damper. Check delivery once again. If specified delivery volume is attained, replace fuel reservoir.

e)   Replace fuel filter.

5   If delivery volume is still too low, replace fuel pump.

6   Connect fuel return flow hose. Mount relay.
