Hi, regarding my SB6r running trouble, could it be my fuel pipes? I've got mine running horizontal from air box to fuel rail on the carbs but am I right in thinking the pipes come out of the air box go down and then back up vertically into the carbs Cheers

Through the airbox and straight onto the connections into the carbs. Look for kinks in the pipes in the airbox. Have you still got the fuel pump in the airbox? If so, ditch it and replace with a pingel 1 in, 2 out fuel filter and run off gravity, which is fine, unless you spend most of the time flat-out on the back wheel, in which case you might suffer some starvation, but only briefly until your collar's felt or some other mishap Laughing

Hi Jerry, I've read quiet a few posts saying they
cause a lot of trouble under normal running so I decided to remove mine and just run it gravity feed But as mine is not running properly anyway it was just another thing to try Cheers Nigel
