R1 carb help
Hey chaps
Want to get my engine all plumbed in and was wondering what these inlets/outlets are on me carbs.
Which one do I connect my fuel line too?
Not even going to mention the wiring loom yet, pulled that out the box, took one look at it and it went straight back in lol
Cheers
Ben
You couldn't pwn your way out of a wet paper bag, with "PWN ME!!" written on it, from the "pwned take-away" which originally contained one
portion of chicken tikka pwnsala and the obligatory free pwnpadom.

Fuels goes to the one in the middle of the carbs, the one on the left is for coolant (I think).
The one on the right is a breather hose only - you could connect it through an air filter if you wanted to (IIRC it connects to the bike airbox)

The breather hose supplies atmospheric air to spring side of the CV diaphragm. On most bikes they feed into the airbox so that
a) the air is filtered
b) the air is at airbox pressure (ie same as air entering engine through choke) rather than atmospheric
However most people leave them to atmosphere and it doesn't seem to cause a problem...
If you temporarily suck on the breather tube you can get the mixture to go super rich for a second or two. An easy way to get flames and bangs out of
the exhausts (as recently discussed)....

the little tube in the 2nd picture is where the coolant comes out again (if you plumb coolant into the carbs)
The breather pipes (1st photo) push onto a 'thing' on the right side of the cylinder block, near the cam chain tensioner.

at least you won't make the same mistake as I made, connected the fuel line to the one on the left turned the motor on and fuel came spirting
out of the little one on the right, as said fuel in bottom one

Oh yeah, missed that and assumed it was the breather!
It goes onto the little black box under the carbs o the right of the photo.
I had my carbs off this weekend to do the jets - it should be a bit fresher in my memory!
