ZX9R carbs on pinto. Help and info.
Rob Allison - 18/3/10 at 08:13 PM

I decided to do some mods and fit some bike carbs to my 2.0 pinto.

This is as it goes so far.
Ebay : ZX9R B1 carbs, ZX9R filter base, ZX10 fuel pump, 48mm silicone pipe.

Other parts: Some 46mm pipe (from the scrap bin at work).
Pinto inlet flange from Kitpartsdirect. Normaly i would get this profile cut from a firm i use, but at the price that Kitpartsdirect have it at there was no point.

My aim is less than £100 for the install.

Flange


Carbs


Now to the bit where i need some info. The carbs have some pipes dotted about and i need to know what there for. i think there breathers?
A and B


And the fuel pipes. There are 2 ends to it. Are they normaly both connected to pump discharge? or is one used as a return via a regulator?


And what are the hole for on the inlet to the carb.


Oh and thanks Jacko for the info.

Why's that?

I would bolt the flange down to a strong flat surface whilst welding the tubes in, I didn't and it took ages to get it flat again, still got the blisters to prove it !!!

Cheers

Not a problem mate. Done it all before, made a few pinto turbo exhausts..
