will i need a electric fuel pump and fuel regulator

 

I have just fitted some R1 carbs to the Black Top in my single seater. I fitted some Weber 180 main jets and it started first press of the button. I use the Megajolt system to set the juice on fire and not a problem.....

 

Get this months complete kit car mag. It's got part one of a bike card article. Helped the writer with info for it. Done bike carbs on my pinto and helped with an st170 also.
Bike carbs require someone who knows how to set them up. Bike tuners are therefore better. Boggs are good at giving you the bits and nice quality parts, but not so good at the setup. And yes I have been there but it's up to you for a tuner.

 

You will need a 3psi fuel pressure set up. I used a zx9r pump. If it's a bike pump you use mount it near the tank not up front. I did that and ended up with low fuel pressure at high engine load.
But if your carbs are gravity fed type then you need even lower fuel pressure.

 

I ran the engine part of last season and several meetings this year using a 32/36 with the Kent manifold and an adapter plate and it ran quite well but not as quick as I want it. I obtained the carbs locally and a manifold from Danst Engineering, a beautiful job in aluminium. General advice I recieved was to drill the jets out to 1.8mm but was adviced that Weber jets (32/36) are the same.The engine has to come out for a small leak on the dry sump system then it will be put on the rollers..To avoid having the throttle cable running vertical from the original linkage I have removed the TPS and fitted the cable roller from an SU as fitted to the Metro onto the exposed flat area of the long spindle. The cable now pulls down hill and is out of the way. I use the Ford Eddis unit and a Megajolt as supplied by Trigger wheels, a firm I found very helpfull. I am now awaiting the K & N filter and backplate to complete the engineering side.

 

thanks for reply
