chrisgatguis Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Damnit, I've lost the plug off one of my take off's off my carbs (when trying (and failing) to balance them)I presume that I can't run it without one? I think thats whats totally cocked up my balancing too...It does actually run without it but I presume i can't just leave it?Think i'm going to have to take the plunge and get a propper carb balance gauge (mines just a single carb at a time jobby) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_on_a_bike Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I very much doubt it'll run ok without it on.can you get replacements? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 ideally you need a twin gauge one minimum as on some bikes the adjusting screws can alter 2 carbs at once and yes you must have it plugged if you have a bit of vac hose use a short piece and stick a screw in one end and the other on the carb and there you have a temp fix till you get a new plug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisgatguis Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 I've ordered one now! bloody fiver for 10! if anyone needs one send me an email and i'll post you one its such a pain getting to that screw, if i move the tank side saddle it just cuts out after a bit, this has been an utter NIGHTMARE! remind me not to pretend i know what i'm doing next time lol.wish i knew where the old plug went (it was on the bike, then disappeared.... just imaginging it getting sucked in)right - time to order a descent gauge............

chrisgatguis Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 this sort of thing should do the job?: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Four-Throttle-Car ... 240%3A1318whats the 4 metal pipe bits for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_on_a_bike Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I can't think what, exactly, but the pipes might be used if tuning a car, which is what the kit is meant to be for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 thats the same as what i have they work ok not the best but still good the pipes are adaptors you get different sizes some bikes dont have the nipple on the carb they are screws in the inlets that you remove and replace with the pipes what sort of size are these bungs ? i might be able to use one or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisgatguis Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 what sort of size are these bungs ? i might be able to use one or two haha they're not that type of bung mate lol - they're 3/16's - to fit suzuki and a load of others same as this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-VACUUM-TAKE-O ... 240%3A1318i reckon they're the right size pure guess work mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
