peteretep Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 so ive now got these carbs, anyone got a good manual that goes into detail about these carbs? Ive found bike manuals on the net but they dont tell you what everything does... i really just want to know the function of each inlet/outlet Also what is the best way to mount them? Whats the deal with vacuum? can you use it from the carbs themselves or no? ive heard that you only need one inlet to give enough vacuum for the brakes but do they have enough/does it work for vacuum advance on the distributor? What kind of pressure do they require? can I use the old escort fuel pump? pics, poor quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 back in the day vac advance was made as an economy thing, I'vce read. I don't know shit about ignition timing curves and shit though. should be sweet to run without it, esp if you get the dizz weights and all that sorted. will likely have to run a check valve and vaccum tank to run the brakes, and jsut run it off one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 all covered boes. mean link on about page 3 to a total vauxhall write up talking about them. they mount just on the intake runner tubes, no mounting points. just make a flange up for your intake and run appropriate sized tube with rubber/silicone tubes in between with hose clamps or similar to fix them in place. http://www.oldschool.co.nz/phpbb/viewto ... sc&start=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 Ive read the ting on total vauxhall, its quite good but doesnt tell me what all the inlets/outlets are for. And for the mounting, do you want the bowls to be perfectly horizontal if possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Re: Fuel pressure, they run real low pressure, so you'll need a fuel pressure regulator, or better still, use an electric pump from an R1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 could I just use the standard escort fuel pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thminiman Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 doubt it i think its something about needs to be a constant flow rather than a pulseing flow that i imagine scrot one is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegreatestben Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Perhaps you could try dropping into your local yamaha bike dealer/workshop and ask them for some info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thminiman Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 ok, an answer run the r1 pump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 you could run the escort pump if you really wanted to but will need a regulator, dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 wouldnt escorts run a mechanical pump on the engine? If so, then dont run that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d.p.n.s Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 just mount the r1 pump in the engine bay but you will need the r 1 pump other wise they can be a pian in the arse to set up and having the pump would just eleminate one of the set up prob.

Guest sexychevette Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Perhaps you could try dropping into your local Suzuki bike dealer/workshop and ask them for some info. yeah cos sukuki sells heaps of r1's .....anyway they all fuel injected now and bike shops are gay to talk to, usually arnt keen to help unless you want to give them heaps of cash. maybe just run locked advance and put up with gayness downlow in the revs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatestben Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 whoops yamaha... I'd been looking at GIXXER and R1 carts and totally got my names muddled up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 R1 pump in engine bay, duct taped to strut 3psi is their operating stz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 $150 for an r1 pump sounds expensive, anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thminiman Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 i wouldnt pay that, should be one off a crashed one around, your not in that much of a hurry, keep an eye out on trademiz etc for a crashed r1, be like, "oh boe, k33n on fuel pump, will giz you 50 for it" done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sexychevette Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 $150 for an r1 pump sounds expensive, anyone? if thats brand new retail then i could probably get it a bit cheaper...also i think those carter pumps run at like 3-4psi but i might be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
