Carb update is next, just sorting the pics!
Onto the R1 carbs next.
Massive thanks again to David for his help today! We set to work stripping the carbs in his cosy warm workshop (:roll:) and now I have 4 individual carbs...

The spacing should be relatively easy. The choke bracket needs cutting and extended where marked with a black pen and 2 new longer bolts need making up...

Spacers need re-making for fuel and others...

The throttle linkages fit together by a little tab that sits between a spring and another top on the ajoining body. The tab just needs lengthening as per David's (last pic)...

Next up is to chop down a standard inlet manifold and so about making up some alloy runners to mate engine with carbs!
Some questions tho I wouldn't mind having confirmed.
I'm fairly confident this is the fuel in pipe on he back of one of the carbs...

There's a large pipe one end and a smaller (vacuum size pipe on the far end of the bank of carbs. Nothing came attatched to these - what are they?

And finally, referring back to an old picture...

I've been told these breathers are needed and don't connect up to anything. Question is can I take off the stupid black things on A and just leave the pipe exposed one end and the holes in sides of the carbs open? And on B remove the piping and again leave holes in the sides of the carbs? Surely this will invite crap into the carbs?
They are listed in the R1 service manual as:-
A - Vacuum chamber air vent hose
B - Float chamber air vent hose.
Thanks in advance.

Yes you can remove the black things, but they have small filters in to stop crap getting into the diaphram chamber covers.
Those thin pipes, one each end of the carb set is for a coolant connection, so isnt needed.
I had a labelled diagram somewhere, will see if i can dig it out.
be interesting to see the outcome of the carb modifications
Use bloody macro.
Why are you making them individual?
Why not use them? The warmer must work good for them to have it?Quote:

Red-Carb breather circuit(just leave that open and pointing down), it runs to the airbox on the R1 bike originally.
Hope that helps.
