I'm on the look out for some but i may have better luck to just buy some tubing and cut to suit. Neil Allport Motorsport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmxnz11 Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 Failed a WOF last week on a few things. One being a hole in the muffler which isn't worth repairing. Currently system is standard manifold and one muffler. Going to put some 4-2-1 extractors on but unsure on the muffler situation. I have a couple of spare cobys I can use but I'm unsure if one will be enough? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmxnz11 Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 On the look out for a carb seal kit and a fuel pump for a cbr600f1 if anyone knows of any for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwisurf Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 For sure it will be the fuel pressure at fault. Try these guys as its where I got my carb setup: http://www.bikebusters.co.nz/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmxnz11 Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 Bought and wired in a bike pump. Makes all the right noises and fuels getting to the fuel filter, sitting in the engine bay, so i assume its made its way into the bowls. Cranked it over but it wouldn't fire. Poured a bit of fuel down the carbs and still no dice. Pretty sure I just fouled my plugs. Will look at them another night. What have people use for a throttle cable?

bmxnz11 Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 Mucked around with the carbs a bit more, turned up the idle adjustment and started first pop. Idles pretty well. Have ordered a throttle cable from Burton as I don't have a lot of time to make something else work. Does anyone have a bike carb balancing tool I could borrow? Once the cable is hooked up then I can go test driving and tuning. Hoping to use the color tune for most of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmxnz11 Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 Changed the pilot jets in the carbs from 38 to 35 and played with the fuel mixture. Remove an air hose I had blocked and This time on start up, the choke increased rpm and didnt kill the motor. Heading in the right direction. Went for a drive and it struggled under load at mid range and had the odd backfire through the carb. Idles fine so I'm picking it's time to play with the slides.

It's been on the back burner a bit but I'm slowly building up a 1600 for it to swap in. Took it to nats and had no issues what so ever, even over the takaka hill! Certainly enjoy throwing junk in the back and going for a roadie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
