Hi all,

Hope everyone is having a great long weekend so far.

I'm onto the carb tuning now, but was wondering what these two ports are for?


Also, I'm using an aux tank but my carbs overflow. I've taken them apart about 3 times to check the float heights and they're all at around 22+/-1mm. The height is set with the carb asst on its side and they are barely touching the valve.

I'll check that all the passage ways a clear again.

Any other tips?

Laverdaroo:
There’s two overflow pipes that go on those, they travel down through the bike and vent we’re the 4 other pipes vent from the carb bowls underneath.

Presumably you cleaned the pivot pins that the floats swing on Dave?

Tried tapping the bowls?

Sworn a lot?…….

You could use let petrol and don’t have it so high in the aux tank, just reduce the head. Weight so to speak? Might be squeezing it passed the valve???

Lots of swearing today Roo!

But yes, great suggestion as I've got a lot head pressure as.the aux tank is really high up.

I'll try it with it closer to where the actual tank is supposed to be

I'll add some hose to those other 2 overflow pipes as well.
