They should just unscrew.They are the old fuel cut off solenoids .

Thanks

Other thing I need to find out is where the fuel goes in

At the top are two short black vertical pipes you can see one between 1 and 2 just to the right of the first carb's top-right cover screw, the other in same place between 3 and 4, each one of which tees off to each pair of carbs 1+2, 3+4:


Is that the fuel inlets? Also there's this single tube in the middle underneath is that fuel return?

The two black pipes usually vent to the air box



The single one is fuel in



The hex bits might be a PITA as they would usually need to be powered up to let the fuel flow.

yea one in the middles fuel in
no return on bike carbs unless overfuelled then it pisses eveywhere lol
if space aint an issue then leave the hexs on theyre fitted for a reason and if unscrewd may cause fuel to piss everywhere

the fuel gets piped up from underneath?

am using a facet posiflow with 0-5psi regulator which i heard will be too much for them even on lowest setting

is there a way to connect them up without having to buy another regulator? thought maybe tee a return pipe off in the feed just before the carbs, run it up above float chamber height then down to the return line

does that sound like a plan, workshop's miles away so trying to work it out beforehand, want to drive it back same day fitted
