Enhanced fuel supply!



With some help from Willy Berg, i recently modified the fuel supply.
The Problem: After a week or longer the fuel moved back from the carburators and the fuelpump (due to the quite high position of the carburators in the 356). At startup it took quite some time for the fuel to flood the carburators again, resulting in an engine that had a rough time starting until the fuelpump managed to pump the fuel back again.

Solution: Installing a primer buld on the fuelline to the fuelpump. This prevents the fuel from moving further back in the system, resulting in a really happy engine that thanx you every time you fire it up!

RECOMMEND THIS TO ALL 356 OWNERS OUT THERE.

Thanx alot Willy! My dad said "Of course it's like this, why did i never think of that"  :-)
I'll buy you a beer on the yearmeeting in Jönköping this year!

Google Lietz


For some time now i have been looking for a #Lietz original #luggagerack for
my old Porsche 356. I found two or three in California, and got in touch with the
companies that sold them. Price was ok, but the shippingcost was way to much, so
i sadly realized that i probably would not get one after all.
Late one evening 1 week ago (with a glass of whisky), i Googled "Lietz luggagerack Porsche 356",
switched to the images view and looked at the nice pictures of the luggageracks i wanted.

I found one picture i had not seen before, so i viewed it. Yep, the truly nice luggagerack i was looking for.
Followed the link to a german site named http://www.prewarcar.com , and got in touch with a nice gentleman named Siegfried Otto Hepp.

Yep, he was selling this, and i said: I want it badly, consider it sold :-)
Done deal, and from Germany shipping to Sweden is not expensive at all!
So yesterday i got it delivered to the door, and it was truly in great shape!

A big "THANK YOU!!" to Google for their superb search, which helped me out big time here!
Without you i probably would never found what i was looking for!!!!

An even bigger thank you to Siegfried for this beautiful piece of historical item. Thank you!!
