Bike Carbs

Ashtonr, I believe the Map sensor was on the Esc controller for the 1.8 cvh. So you don't need to look for one.

On the hybrid ESC system it is built into the module itself. There would have been a rubber pipe connecting it to the original manifold.

You will need to connect this to a collector tank, with a pipe then going to each individual carb pipe. Have a look on the megajolt website, there is a diagram that explains it.

Thanks for this it will save me hours, just need to identify the various tubes going into the carbs now

Just found a service manual for the zx6r f3 on the net. They do have water pipe connections on them. Something else for Gus to connect!!

Here is a link to it.

The water pipes are to stop the carbies from icing up, think it was only a Kawasaki "thing". Doubt you will need to bother really as it gets bally hot under the bonnet.

My Yamaha R1 carbs look like kawa ones and I run with the water cooler with no problems.
Just think to NOT CONNECT carb tank breather, at the beginning I've connected them to fuel tank and my engine work in a very very erratic way.

On the R1 the carb are placed very vertical but in my car I'v not repect that but the engine work fine I have never any fuel cut.

Today on my car I've suppress the air box because she was too restricted and my engine was running too rich.

yep the pipe with the plasic bulge thingy is for coolent to stop carb iceing
run it off your bleed line to the header tank should be fine
if i rember it only runs coolent across the bottom of the float bowl to warm it slightly
not sure if carb iceing will be a problem on a roadster but bikes do get it in the cold as the wind chills things down in the winter.

tip if your thinking of upgrading to at injection at any point or dont wish to use an edis unit then look at going down a megasqirt route it can run the ign system and/or inj for almost any engine (handy when you want to fit somthing other than ford with a 36-1 crank trigger)

Finally finished, filed the angles in the end as I ran out of tallent and metal with the compund cuts see pictures which might be helpful to anyoe else needing some ideas
