Meager beginnings. I started with the injector pump. Find had an exploded view of (most) of the parts on his pump. He also supplied a couple of dimensions, so I took it from there. My ball check valves will be 3/32" compared to his 1mm. Also, my plunger rod will also be 3/32" compared to his 2mm. The rest of the dimensions are approximations with the square part being .25" and the round part 3/16". I'm hoping there is nothing other than close tolerances required to make this work. And I don't see how it could be more frustrating than my experience thus far with carburetors!
The injector also looks pretty straight forward and I think I have the hot bulb figured out. I don't know what materials he used for the hot bulb. I'm guessing stainless steel would be best but I may have to settle for mild pr silver steel for starters.
This will likely be a slow process since I have a number of other domestic projects that I can't seem to avoid, try as I might. I also will probably use more conventional gearing than Find's very nice helical gearing. Would love to make helical gears but that sounds like a project for another time (maybe another lifetime!).
So, drift in and out from time to time and we'll see how it goes.
