Plumbing up a heater matrix

[Steve]

As my 1300 runs a stupid autochoke all the pipework is a bit more tricky to plumb, does it matter what way round you plumb the heater matrix? I.e will it flow both ways?

As the stupid amount of reducers, connectors and odd bits of pipework I would have used to do it as it originally was, was a right headache.

its hardly difficult.. there are 2 pipes from the engine to the matrix. along the 2 pipes are tee pieces that connect to small pipes that go to the choke.....

why not just get a manual choke kit????

[Steve]

Purely because i'm in a hurry to get it running by sunday so I can take it to retro rides!!

So back to the original question, will it matter what way the water flows through it?

[Balley]

No it shouldn't pal, this place is full of useless comments like that now!!

If you need any more help PM me!

Just by pass the matrix till after sunday.

Its plumbed up through the matrix but going through the opposite ends..

I was going to by pass it but the t-pieces are too close to join up, and as it goes from the t-piece into a smaller diameter pipe to the matrix its alot of mucking about as ive already wasted alot of time trying it that way.
