This preventative approach can often catch minor problems before they escalate into major failures, saving you time and expense in the long run. Regular servicing is key to maintaining peak performance.
• Rebuild: For pumps showing significant wear or those that have been in service for an extended period, a complete rebuild is often the best course of action. A rebuild involves the complete disassembly of the pump, meticulous cleaning of all components, inspection for wear or damage, and the replacement of all worn or critical parts with new, high-quality equivalents. This process essentially restores the pump to its original factory specifications, or often, to an even higher standard of reliability and performance. It's an investment in your engine's future, ensuring reliable fuel delivery for countless hours of operation.
• Flowtest: Arguably one of the most critical aspects of our fuel injection pump service is the flowtesting procedure. After servicing or rebuilding, every pump undergoes rigorous testing on our state-of-the-art flow bench. This allows us to accurately measure the pump's flow rate across its operating range, ensuring it delivers the precise amount of fuel required by your engine. Inconsistent fuel delivery can lead to a multitude of problems, from erratic idling to power loss and even engine damage. Our precise flowtesting eliminates guesswork, guaranteeing optimal performance and efficiency. It verifies that the pump is operating within specified parameters, providing the consistent fuel pressure and volume essential for high-performance applications.

By entrusting your fuel injection pump to FIE, you're not just getting a repair; you're receiving a comprehensive service designed to optimise your engine's fuel delivery, ensuring it performs flawlessly under all conditions. Our expertise in these specialised pumps means you can have complete confidence in the integrity and performance of your fuel system.

Mastering Ignition: Magneto Services

Beyond fuel delivery, the ignition system plays an equally vital role in extracting maximum power from your engine. A powerful, consistent spark is essential for efficient combustion, especially in high-performance and racing applications. At FIE, we are proud to be authorised dealers for both MSD Pro-Mag and Vertex magnetos, placing us at the forefront of ignition system technology. Our deep understanding of these advanced ignition components allows us to offer services that significantly enhance their performance.

We don't just fix magnetos; we transform them. FIE can rebuild, refurbish, and crucially, upgrade any MSD Pro-Mag or Vertex magneto to deliver more output at the sparkplug. This isn't merely about replacing worn parts; it's about optimising the magneto's electrical output to generate a hotter, more consistent spark. A stronger spark promotes more complete combustion, leading to increased horsepower, improved throttle response, and greater reliability, particularly at higher RPMs and under extreme conditions.

Our Magneto Service Offerings:

• Rebuild: Similar to our fuel pump services, a magneto rebuild involves a complete teardown, inspection, cleaning, and replacement of all necessary internal components. This ensures that the magneto is restored to its original operational specifications, addressing any wear and tear that could compromise its performance or reliability. This is vital for maintaining the integrity of such a crucial ignition component.
• Refurbish: Beyond simply rebuilding, our refurbishment process focuses on restoring the magneto's external and internal condition to a near-new state. This includes aesthetic improvements alongside functional restoration, ensuring the unit not only performs optimally but also looks the part. This attention to detail extends the life and enhances the appearance of your valuable magneto.
• Upgrade for More Output: This is where FIE truly shines. Leveraging our dealership status and technical expertise, we can perform specific modifications and enhancements to your MSD Pro-Mag or Vertex magneto to significantly increase its spark energy. This upgrade translates directly into a more powerful and consistent spark at the plug, which is invaluable for high-compression engines, forced induction setups, or any application where maximum combustion efficiency is desired. This enhancement can unlock previously untapped power, making a noticeable difference in your vehicle's performance.

The ability to increase spark output is a significant advantage, particularly for competitive racing or highly modified street machines. A stronger spark reduces the likelihood of misfires, ensures more complete combustion of the fuel-air mixture, and ultimately contributes to greater overall engine efficiency and power. By choosing FIE for your magneto needs, you're investing in superior ignition performance that can genuinely elevate your vehicle's capabilities.
