carb balancing point

Post by alec »

Hi can anyone tell me if this is the right place to fit the brass adaptor for permanent fixing for the carb balancing, i have circled where i think it is, this is looking in from the right hand side of the bike (when sitting on it). also which pipe is the one i need to fit the T piece in that goes to the tank.

Alec, yes, T into the vacuum pipe that goes to the rear of the fuel tap for the rear connection. The one under the tank is only a drain pipe.
