Haha. I think I must have a different type of sb6r to you lot. My inlet stubs dont have any holes other than number two which has the vacume feed to the fuel pump. This has now been capped and the fuel pump removed.
Also I have now put the new fuel lines in. I have a single feed from the petcock into the airbox. Then it goes into the two out filter. I have it as vertical as I can get it. From here I have equal length lines run up to the air box outlets between cylinders 1 and 2 and also 3 and 4. There is no way I could run the lines under the carbs on the left hand side unless I was to make another hole in the airbox. I have tried to ensure that the lines are never higher than the outlet of the tank. |
EC and I both have SB6's rather than 6r's. Same carbs I believe but different airbox setup. _________________ '99 DB4 #104, '96 SB6 #1165, '94 DB2 J #652, '99 DB4 #088, '08 VTX1800, '93 ZXR750R M1, '95 ZXR750, '95 ZXR750 Race Bike, '94 CBR400rr NC29 Race Bike, '94 CB250, '49 BSA C10 250, '61 BSA A10 650, '89 ZXR750, '91 Ducati 851 |

Do you think it will be fine without the fuel pump getting the fuel up to the carb bowls seeing that it will have to travel a little higher. |

Your SB6R will run fine with gravity feed, right down to the last litre. _________________ What, Jonny's gone! |

Update. It is now running. However, its idle is up at about 3000 with no choke at all. I more or less shut the choke as soon as it fired up. Also as soon as I touch the throttle it revs at the revs the throttle was twisted to and holds there.
HELP! |

Have you balanced carbs and adjusted throttle cables correctly ?
Are the throttle cables getting caught on something ?
Have you put push pull cables of throttle on correct way around ? |

I was just going to disconnect the cables now and try it then. Have not made any adjustments to settings yet. Wanted to check cables first. |

Woohoo!! Adjusted the pull cable. Now needs choke to start from cold . Runs with choke shut. Revs fine. Running on all 4 ( all 4 headers cannot be touched ) . Gonna balance them tomorrow and adjust idle speed a little if required.

Here's my little problem. The old seal on the floats had shrunk and the carbs floated. The new ones don't squash into the hole (technical innit) so it looks like this, the floats haven't located. The new seal is green.
The carbs don't flood but the bike pops if I throttle off

Mine were tight to go in. I pushed until I felt resistance to pull them out. The innuendos possible here are plentiful! ! |

Could you try swapping them around to see if others fit better in other holes or is that not advisable? If you are setting float heights anyway surely it wont matter. I take it your seal kit came from Thailand too? Worth ordering another set to see if its any different? |
