[NSRCA-discussion] [Bulk] Re: Kline pump

 Years ago, I tried the Kline and gave up on it.

 

 The Perry pump is pain free and always works.

Yes, the Kline system is very similar to a scuba regulator. With a scuba
regulator, the person has to inhale (draw a slight vacuum compared to the
pressure depth) for the regulator to open and pass air.

 

Years ago I did a review of an MVVS .61 engine with a Kline regulator. The
problem with the Kline system is that it requires the carb to suck fuel.
Until the carb draws a slight negative pressure in the fuel line, the
regulator will not open since the reference pressure is atmospheric.
However, the MVVS carb was designed to use muffler pressure to operate.  The
carb had to be modified to operate properly with the Kline system.

 

I thought about modifying the Kline regulator by mounting a pressure tap and
running muffler pressure to this tap. This would make the reference pressure
equal to muffler pressure and would cause the system to feed fuel to the
carb anytime there was muffler pressure. This would also require
pressurizing the tank with crankcase pressure. I never got around to trying
out the idea.

One thing I like to point out is that the "Kline" is not a pump the same as
the Perry. It is a "Demand Regulator" that works on the negative pressure
from the carburetor. The "Kline" needs a pressurized tank to work, while the
"Perry" does not need the pressure and will work with an open vent line to
the tank. It does not need a closed fuelling setup while the "Kline" does.
