help, or support fuse 11 blows on my 72 tii

I am not familiar with the details of the Kugelfischer FI system. In most modern electronic systems the pressure is controlled by a mechanical regulator that bypasses excess fuel back to the tank, once a predetermined pressure is reached. If the regulator malfunctions, or the bypass line is pinched or plugged, the pressure can get extremely high (over 100 PSI) and the load on the pump would cause it to draw excessive current.

Is there a similar pressure regulating system in the your Kugelfischer, and if so, is it working?

Have you measured the pressure out of the electric pump?

No amount of skill or education will ever replace dumb luck

well, finally got her put all together. The initial prognosis of a bad fuel pump was wrong. However, I did replace it with a 5 series pump for longevity purposes. In addition, I found a detached wire (hot) for the cold start valve (also on fuse 11). This was the culprit.

Thanks everyone for all the help

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
