Will,
I can understand the principle. It is something to consider. The big
issue will be running the low pressure fuel line from between the
gascolator and electric pumps forward to the mechanical pump.

Dear Bob
How about trying the Colombian set up. Essentially this is the 912
mech pump with an electric boost pump with the pressure regulated by the
rotax regulator. The new mech pump will sustain 27-30".

Fellow Europaphiles,
For all you 914 owners who were not able to acquire one of the Billet
mechanical fuel pumps, don=99t feel bad. My pump lasted about 100
hrs before developing a significant leak back into the gearbox and
thence into the sump. It=99s quite a surprise when you burp the
engine to check the oil level and you have to remove about a pint of
stinky, fuel-contaminated oil from the reservoir.
Since the unit is not supported I am returning to the two electrical
pump configuration as per ROTAX installation instructions (914
Installation Manual Page 84). I have been collecting the bits and
pieces of hardware and fuel injection hose and will spend tomorrow
putting it all back as per the manual.
Looking forward too seeing Y=99all in about 6 weeks at AirVenture!
