Which pipe do I cut?

Post by Bal »

I just read how to ballance the carbs in the knowledge section then started to strip the bike, could anyone please tell me which of the two tubes is the one i need to T into? Is it the one with the plastic size reducer on it or the one next to it?

Many Thanks
Alan.

None of those pipes. It's the vacuum pipe which is attached to the back of the petrol tap. The pipe is located between the tap and the seat.

No, it's not the one with plastic ruducer as your call it. I think that plastic has either some kind of Venturi effect or is a one way valve. Just an idea!

Back to the vaccum the one for the rear cylinder is the oposite side of the fuel switch just behind the fuel line. It's the awkward one on the left side! If you don't have a fuel switch (bigger tank) you can follow it up from the front of the rear Carb on the left hand side up to the tank.
When I done mine, I put my t-piece nearer the carb end and then run both tubes along the left side to under the seat by battery.

Hope that helps :thumbup:

That looks like you could have it there. Just double check that runs from the rear carb. :thumbup:
