Poorly Red Baron

Post by mike22861 »

The Red Baron has decided that the Activa is receiving far too much attention and decided to throw a sulk too it's leaking lots of Diesel from the injector pump and also leaking lots of air into the injector pump making starting a task and running smelly. If I had time to do it just needs a new seal kit but it may have to be sent off for some mechanics touch.
I will let you know how it gets on.

Probably just needs a couple of new o-rings on the throttle spindle then. I did mine in situ at new year - took about ten minutes and hasn't given any bother since. Didn't even need to bleed the system afterwards.

the first thing to check is the one way valve's in the banjo unions on the feed/return connections at the pump,
if they get stuck it can cause to much back presure then push fuel out were ever it can,
even if the seals hold normally,
