[NSRCA-discussion] Perry VP30 Pump

[Vicente "Vince" Bortone]

Hi Bob, 



Did you check bearings?  Usually that is the very first problem to check when using the OS 160.  After the long winter that could be the problem.  If you feel any play when putting some pressure on the tip of the prop is time for new bearings. 



I am not sure now if I will be able to go to your contest.  For sure we had a great time and we will try again.

Thanks Vince.  The adjustment screw on my pump is hanging out about 1/4" from the base...maybe more.  That just doesn't seem right.  But, if I try to screw it in with the engine running it loads up and dies.  With it set the way it is, the engine runs pretty good with the needle valve 3/4 open...but, that doesn't seem right either. 

Another thing I'm worried about is fuel continuing to drip out of the carb when the engine is not running. 

I'm probably going to have to suck in it and buy a new pump. 

Are you going to make "The Fat Lake Pattern Rendezvous" this year (June 31-August 1)?  It's going to be bigger and better.  That is if it doesn't rain again...ha!

Hi Bob, 



 I remember this range 1/8" - 5/32".  I could be wrong since it has been a long time.  Let's see other recommendations.  



Good luck,

I have a VP30  Perry pump on my O.S. 1.60.  Unfortunately, I've messed around with the adjustment screw and now have no clue where it was set originally.  Anyone have an idea how far out from the base the screw is set from the factory?
