fueling a zx9

the t piece on my engine, that splits the fuel into 2 pipes for the carbs, seems bigger that the output on the fuel pump. so do i get a new t, a new pump, or an adapter? heres a crappy picture:

hi jasper. The fat bit that goes to the fuel pump is fatter than the outlet on the fuel pump itself! i'll pop out and measure it all. The pump is off a fireblade (mitsubishi type) so it should be the correct size tubes.

cheers!

ok, that fat pipe in the bottom of the picture is 10mm on the main shaft. The pipe out of the fuel pump is only 8mm.

does anyone know which is the norm? i am tempted to get a t piece which is 8mm on all three pipes, rather than 8/8/10 like the one in the picture, but would rather be sure before i do!

cheers, Joel.

ps, what i really mean is what bore fuel pipe has anyone used?

Joel. My pump outlet on the ZX9R is 10mm, so would match your tee.





I'm sure I've got one, just don't know where I've put it

the filter attached to the pump is a reducer. cheers for the help guys, just need to get a 10mm filter now.
