Re: Fuel pump problems??? 1973 SAAB 99LE F.I.

Spoke to a bosch tec and he says it sounds like a MPS issue..I found a brand new unit years ago from germany but it was an 015 instead of the advertised 115 ending #s but he looked up #s and said they are the same..The 015 was for the EMS 72 to 74...Just the mount is different...Sounds like a possib...

Re: Fuel pump problems??? 1973 SAAB 99LE F.I.

My 74 EMS is running a K-Jetronic type pump mounted in the boot floor. I also swapped the metal fuel tank for a later plastic type from a single carburettor 99. Not a bad job to do and rules out any rust/corrosion in the fuel issues. Have you checked the pulse trigger points in the lower part of th...

Swapped out condenser and points,a lot better but still intermitten..Thinking maybe injecter points need a cleaning or bad cap or rotor n wires....All look ok though...... :ranting:

Re: Best advance timing Q,s 1973 99le

I would tend to 13*. 8 seems to be too retarded. You can try 13 and put some load on it and listen for ping. Take your foot out of it if you hear it and now you know 8 is the number. It also might be on the fender how to set the timing and what angle? Thanks.dwell is 50*.runs much cooler.no pings.....

Re: Fuel pump problems??? 1973 SAAB 99LE F.I.

Seth is right, it would be a reasonably simple swap that would help reduce the issues with the MAP sensor. I should have done that rather than swap to carbs on my 73 EMS. I wasn't talking about your ignition points, I was talking about the D-Jet points. That's the funny plug on the side of your dis...

Re: Fuel pump problems??? 1973 SAAB 99LE F.I.

If you ever get tired of the Djet and not a stickler for keeping it 100% original you could swap it over to LH injection. The LH injectors work nicely in the D jet manifold and all the components mount easily enough. The LH harness and computer are also a nice contained system so its mostly a manne...

Re: Fuel pump problems??? 1973 SAAB 99LE F.I.

Yes it is...Drained fuel tank and petro was a bit on the brownish side..Seemed to help..But I think its more of a ignition problem,maybe points or a weak coil...Tested pump and it seemed pretty solid,almost a liter per minute..
