Very nice, looks very hard core. Track uses? Lot of nice bits on it.

The Simps · 14-09-2008, 20:36

I'm liking that! Some nice touches. I like the extended dash.

R1 carbs is what I'm looking to do. How do you rate them compared to say a std XE? Do they need constantly setting up?

bennzy · 14-09-2008, 20:39

You'll need an injection tank mate.

bennzy · 14-09-2008, 20:56

what about runnin the fuel line sounds a ball ache

The Simps · 14-09-2008, 20:59

Is a little. I'm in the same boat.

Either find an injection tank or alloy jobbie. You'll then need o run a return and feed line. You'll obviously need a pump and filter. Seeing as you'll be using for a track might aswell fit swirl pot setup etc now and have done with it.

bennzy · 14-09-2008, 21:03

explain the swirlpot etc a bit more please

Pete_58 · 14-09-2008, 22:01

When you turn hard around corners the fuel wish swirl side to side in the standard fuel tank and when your fuel tank gets below around 1/2 it can sometimes cause problems as flow is interupted. By fitting a swirl pot after the tank you can eliminate this starvation effect by essentially having a reserve pot.

bennzy · 17-09-2008, 06:53
