Kugelfischer parts

[BillWilliams]

Thanks to Dave Redszuz I got to see Kugelfischer parts up close. I will share a few pictures with the community

Pardon me for not knowing all of the proper names. The picture below shows Dave inserting the regulating plate that rides up and down on the control cam via tappets that determine how far the plungers/pistons travel inside the K-pump. You can also see the eleptical cam that moves the plate

Close up of the regulating plate, the four holes toward the rear of the plate are the "Kugels" or ball sockets. Small tapets go through these Kugels from the bottom. The bottom of the tappets ride on the cam and top of the tappets push the plungers/pistons up and spring pull them down. The maximum travel of the plungers/pistons is 2.5mm.

Close up of the eleptical cam

Here is a picture of the cam that opens and closes the plungers/pistons. If you look closely you can see the high and low points on the lobes. The low spot after the first high point causes the suction valves to fill the plunger the second high point causes the plunger to rise and eject the fuel through the delivery valves. The intriquing part of this part is the magnet attached to the gear on the left. This magnet does some magic based on rotating speed, coupled with the resistance of the large spring it is attached to (not in picture) to control the position of the control cam. Whew, I am way above my head!

The two parts below are from the warm up tranmitter. The part on the right is the collar that is on the top of the transmitter. The part on the left moves up and down within the collar, the threaded rod goes inside the part on the left. The significance of this part, is the three tapered slots. These slots allow the unmetered air into the motor on warm up. When the car is cold and the part is slid down in the collar, additional air is allowed for warm up and as you can see as it move up into the collar, that additional unmetered air is shut off. Often tii folks do not know where this additional air come from.

Precision Automotive Research also tests and rebuilds injectors to Motorsports specs, those specs are more demanding than stock BMW specs, here is a pic of Dave holding two parts of the injectors, one is the valve you can see from the bottom of the injector and the other part is the retainer for that valve. The retainer is really neat in that the slot the valve moves through is cut in a "spiral" shape for the valve to move in.

Ok, now it is time for the experts to correct any of my mistatements. I am not an expert, but I am smarter now than before I spent time with Dave. Thanks Dave if you see this post.

That's cool Bill...Now you will become the Mid-Atlantik '02 Group's "tii Kugelfischer expert" :-)

I spoke with Dave many years ago when I bought my first tii ('"Atlantik" - '73), and I found him to be very helpful and offered tons of assistance without charge. He's extremely knowledgable for sure!

Hope all is well with Nathan!

to help other tii owners, just try to share what others share with me.

Nathan is ok, talked to him this am. They work those soldiers so hard, I do not know how they function, 23 hours at a clip for two and three days at a time. I do not know how they do it. He blew up two large IEDs yesterday, one came close...

Bill we should FAQ these kugel posts you've made. I'm thinking 'kugelfischer anatomy and physiology' would make a good title.

Maybe steve or rob can set your account up to create it? Or I can grab the posts and info to create one

nice!!

[BillWilliams]

could narrate the pict with correct part names.

Hey, are those my old injectors?

I am a new 2002tii owner and need some help. For example: it's running to rich and i don't know how or where to start.

It'll be seen more easily. This is a holiday weekend, so forum traffic might be a bit light.

Did you search the forum?
