Randy,
 
 There is a guy who h= as been repairing some of the sensors and replacing batteries for the VM 10= 00.  He wants to see them live on.  I have talked to him and got = a battery for mine, nice guy and I would trust him.

Subject: [LML] Holy crap

I have been seeing indicated fuel pressures (9 - 13 = PSI) on my VM1000 that are too low for the fuel servo (requires around 20 P= SI) to operate at - but it continues to operate.
So after checking and modifying the fuel lines (chan= ged from series to parallel for the boost and mechanical pump), removing th= e mechanical fuel pump and having it checked out at the manufacturer, we de= cided to just replace the fuel pressure sensor - figuring it would be under= $100 to replace.
 
I called JP Instruments and got a quote of $650.&nbs= p; Holy crap.
 
The technician told me I could field-test the sensor= and that it has an output of 1mv per PSI input.  ie 5 mv for 5 PSI, 1= 0 mv for 10 PSI, 50 mv for 50 PSI etc..
 
Does anyone out there want to sell a working-but-not= -using VM1000 fuel pressure sensor (the higher pressure one) for fuel injec= ted engines?
 
Does a guy have any options or FP sensors other than= VM1000 brand that put out that kind of output?
