Well the lack of an update means that the track test last week wasn't that sucessfull. the thing would just stop for no reason and vent straight to the exhaust. I spent a bit of time this week tracking down the problem to the valve lifting and remedying the problem. I've posted the details on Stews old thread to keep the information together for others.

I had it at the track today and it was ticking away happily to itself all afternoon and was adequately pumping water when I upped the pace
