<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The VP 30 has a 'nipple' for the crankcase pressure
line. There is also a "vent hole" that is on the other end, between the
inlet/outlet fittings, adjacent to the adjuster screw. The instructions
state that the vent should be placed in some particular orientation, but I've
found no differences in my setups.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV> Ed thats not a vent hole in the Perry pump it's the pressure hole
for the crankcase tap and the instructions do say to mount horizontal which
means that the hole in the plastic would on the side not down, hope I'm not
reading something wrong here.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just wondering how important it is to have the
vent hole in the plastic housing pointing down on the VP30? I assume
it is to minmize the chances of collecting dirt. Any other reason for
it? This is all leading somewhere...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Another question: I'm using an ARIA mount with
an OS 1.60. I've test run it with no pump, no regulator and with a
Cline regulator and with an Iron Bay regulator. The first thing I
noticed is that no matter what, you can not get smooth fuel flow from the
remote needle valve since it shakes around so much on the mount. No
problem when it's removed from the rear bracket. I've concluded that
it's better to avoid the demand regulator approach with this engine, since
it probably has to be placed in between the needle and the carb to make it
work well - there is no easy way to do that besides letting it hang off the
fuel lines.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So I ordered the VP30. This whole mess is
going into a Focus II and it also seems a bit awkward to mount the VP30 to
anything that will allow it to be anywhere in the vicinity of the
carb. This is worsened by the requirement to point the vent
downwards. It would appear that the best thing is to move both the pump
and needle valve as close and as level to the carb as possible. So
far, all I can see as a way to do this is to mount it all to the cowl
(again). Yuch. Any other thoughts on this? Can I safely put it
as far back as the side of the engine box and expect it to work
well?</FONT></DIV>
