Hi guys,
I hope you had a relaxed Christmas and a good start into 2021.
I have currently a problem with the electric of the fuel pump of
my 914 ULS and wonder if you have experienced anything like this
before and can help.
The main fuel pump does not activate when I turn on the ignition (what it normally would do). I found out that the problem is very low voltage from the power supply (1-5 V instead of 12V), which means when I connect it directly to a 12V battery it works.
The auxiliary fuel pump works fine and gets full 12V through the wires. But the engine would not get enough fuel without the auxiliary pump. This problem started suddenly after an XC flight without any pre symptoms.
When I started the troubleshooting, I checked the fuel and tanks, replaced the nylon fuel filters and cleaned pump filters. I also checked all the connectors, wiring and fuses behind the fire wall, they seem all ok. Any ideas ??? Any help is welcome.
