If Karls pumps do the deed for less where is the issue?

The only issue right now is I was waiting for months for Bosch to supply parts I needed to modify these and in the end they finally told me these parts are NLA - so I am now having the parts made. I have a backlog of about a dozen pumps waiting...plus just bought a dyno and discovered I need a bigger shop to install it in. Little stuff like that.  ;)

How the heck isn't that a fair comparison??

I don't want to come across as having a man crush on Karl or his pumps but they have the same 12mm head, are cheaper, have been mounted on a 1.9 & adjusted for a 1.9, come with the correct sprocket and bolt right in.

You don't need to confess your love, the only reference I found to Karl's pump heads were 10mm and 11mm so I stand corrected.

The LT pumps are 100 percent bolt in, and are perfectly set up for the 1.9.  Dozens of installations have proven that as well as the units we have installed in customer conversions.

Your right there are cheaper alternatives out there, and for those who solely shop price then you've got your match, however I can deliver a pump overnight, and it's 100 percent new using original Bosch parts (not aftermarket) and warrantied by Bosch.

So to avoid an Off Topic debate on who's pumps pump better, I suggest we leave it at this.

Please re-read my post #19. The LT pumps, although a direct bolt-in, do have low fuel delivery issues in lower rpms. This can be corrected with a spring change in the ['low-smoke'] throttle/governor lever, and quite a bit of low-rpm power can be gained.

I should point out that my pumps are 100% Bosch, new, German, and are warrantied by me. The LT does have a more refined advance piston design and longer snout, beyond that the two are not much different.

Anytime I've seen pictures of Chinese nozzles and pump heads they have been in the exact same plastic packaging. I'm just saying is all...

Don't know the specifics of this particular case, but in China, I have also seen millions of dollars of neraly perfect 1930's US currency (indistinguishable to anyone but an experty) - all pretty much identical to the real thing.   I have also seen many items that are "semi-legitimate" as someone IN the industry internationally just has a clone of their own or a competitor's stuff built there. One thing few of us in the West appreciate about China is that forgery of ANYTHING is at a very high state of art and SOMETIMES reasonable level science & technology, and has been for a very, very long time.

  Scott:
When you say 'set up" for 1.9, exactly what do you mean.  Is the timing optimized, delivery curves, etc.?  Obviously, at 12mm head, volume is going to be more than adequate for a lot of power on ANY 12mm pump, but I would be interested in a one-stop deal where I don't have to tear into it or send it to someone to get it dialed in to the driveability range (including max RPM).

In an earlier post you had mentioned having parts parts made. How can this statement above be true then.

For those who shop solely on price.

OK, so 99%  ::)
What I meant is that there are no Chinese parts in my pumps - the two parts I need to have made, the timing spring and cover, will be made locally at a major spring manufacturer and machine shop, respectively.

Of course a Prothe pump is cheaper, using Chinese parts and not a 20mm shaft base.

Karl,

I have both covers and springs made right here in the US by ME!!  I think I'll send you a couple to try out
 ;) let me know if you would like to take a look at them! :)
