zx9 carb pipework
kylerichmond - 4/4/10 at 12:35 PM

Im having problems identifying what goes where.
I have zx9 b2 carbs withe throttle on the end, i have 6 pipe connections, 2 at the very bottom approx 6mm, and 2 in the middle 8mm and another 2 at the top 8mm these are between 1-2 and 3-4.
I put my fuel line on the middle 8mm connections and fuel squirted out the top two pipes, which connection should the fuel line plug on to? im confuesed

my zx9rs are different, but the top 2 are supposed to be connected tot he airbox or breather. so if fuel comes out there, don't use the ones you already connected to

the ones with the throttle on the end have fuel between carbs 1&2 and 3&4, try the 6mm connections

top 2 leave open or put a filter on them

two of them will be for water block off dont use
the other 2 fuel in
the best way to check if the carbs are of the engine is blow down the pipes then turn them over keep blowing if its the right pipes the floats will stop the air

The fuel in pipes are in-between 1&2 and be-tween 3&4 at the bottom of the carbs

Hi
1&2 = fit a small air filter
3&4 are fuel in
5 & 6 is for water do not use these

To check 3 & 4 blow down the pipes and turn the carbs upside down the floats will block you blowing

I just did not want to duplicate titles and make a mess I have one question more. Is this line shows proper angle and fuel level?

Yes the little pip / pipe at the bottom wants to be vertical

You won't make a mess, people prefer it if individuals start their own threads, otherwise it's called "thread hijacking" and
most OP's (original posters) don't like it. I know I don't It's forum etiquette.
