Bike carb identification
MikeRJ - 9/3/08 at 12:55 PM

These carbs are apparently from a CBR600 F2, but the bloke using them needs to confirm which pipe does what.

He thinks the pipes have the following functions, can anyone confirm?

Also what sort of power outputs are these carbs useable for?

TIA

The big fat centre pipe at the top appears to go to the airbox - some sort of cold start or breather? Definitely looks like it's for air rather than anything else.

The 2 smaller pipes either side look to be water pipes, the same as you get on many throttle bodies and car carburettors.

The 2 bottom hoses that join into one look like the fuel pipes

The central bottom cable is the choke

bottom is fuel
top fat one is the breather for the diaphragms
top little ones are breathers for the float chambers

on my blade carbs (pretty much the same) i have the top 3 vented to atmosphere and it runs fine.
