If the pictures I found elsewhere are true, the fpr is on the drivers side of the fuel filter housing? If this is correct where do you get the bb's to put in for the shim??? Is the bb better than the manufactured shims, or just cheeper.

 

Ya gotta BB gun? No? Sporting goods store, WallyWorld, any place that sells BBguns.

any pictures of the bb installed???

Look, this is a no brainer Mod

Take your fuel pressure at the schrader valve using a: Fluid filled 100# gauge.(Find @ Hardware store, auto parts, plumbing supplies, Etc.)

On the drivers side of the fuel filter there is a large brass plug (17-19MM) I foreget the exact size. It's the only one there.

Put a rag beneath it as you may get a few drops of fuel. Carefully unscrew the plug and set it aside. Using a pair of bird bill pliers or a dentist pick pull out the spring. It resembles a ball point pen spring and only 11/4" Long or there abouts.

There is also a three (3) sided plunger (for lack of better word) that has a hole in it where the spring lives. Now you can do one of two (2) things:

1) As one member did place a small amount of grease on the spring, stick the BB to it and slide the BB & spring back into the hole in the plunger,
BB goes in first. Or.......

2) You can pull out the plunger, drop the BB in the hole, place the spring in the hole on top of the BB and put the plunger, BB, & spring back into the plungers seat. Make sure that the plunger goes into it's seat. As I recall there should only be 2-3 coils of the spring sticking out on the FPR.

When replacing the cap take notice that there is a small "Tit" in the center of the cap. Make sure that the tit enters the spring. Carefully push the cap towards the body and hand screw the threads together. Snug up the cap. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.

Now start your engine, check for fuel leaks and check the increased fuel pressure using the same fluid filled gauge.

Good luck, you can do this.

ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! ALERT!

Anyone needing a BB send me a PM with your address and I'll send you one BB.
I'm sure that there is not a Federal regulation re sending a single BB through the mail.

what? i'm surprized cali dont ID ya too lol.

 

HA HA I know stupid eh maybe I'll take you up on that BB LOL and you probably don't have any federal regulations but who knows with my crazy government I will probably get arrested or something LOL

 

cali is like super strict on guns arent they? all the pistol boxes here in ky say "NOT FOR SALE IN CA, NY" or some business like that. lol

 

ha, here in ky you can go out back of the pawn shop, hardware store, sporting goods store and try guns out. i am 17 and have been able to go into local gun stores and say, "i'd like to look at/shoot that pistol and they grab some ammo and say lets go out back" since i was about 12. bought a muzzle loader when i was 15 no paper work, no questions asked lol.

 

You crack me up Rog I'll be waiting

 

In CA. the only hand guns that can be sold are the models that the manufacture has submitted two (2) test guns to the Dept. of Justice. Once approved that they conform to the regulations then and only then can they be offered for sale in CA.

Very few pawn shops in CA now handle, loan , buy or sell hand guns for this reason. If the hand gun is not on the list and the pawn shop owner ends up owning it he can't sell it. There is no restriction on antiques or muzzel loaders.

Her is another great law. If you take your shot gun to a pawn shop and get a loan on it before you can pick it up you must go through a DOJ check and you must pay the $25.00 and wait the 7 days before you can have your gun back.

If I want to buy a gun out of state I best have an address in that state before they will sell it to me.When you see do not sell in California it is because that gun is not on the approved list.

Sweet huh?
