dajogejr Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I'm gonna pick up a fresh 5 for that day... I got a little over half tank in the bike left over from PS...so, I'll mix up some fresh, call it a day. Hopefully we get enough passes in.. Shayne, if you want the carrier, I say we just swap them once we get back home. To be 100% honest, I don't feel like taking mine off, putting yours on, etc., after we just got done riding and before another 2 hour ride home. I'm gonna slap mine back together tonight!!

dajogejr Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 How fresh is it, JT?? I might pick up 5 gallons...if you don't mind sir. No problem picking it up for Shayne O Mac if you don't make it...but you and Brent better...we might have a little race setup for Brent. You think you'll have the stinger tubes done by then, JT?? My bike is 100% ready except it might be a loud if I start it right now...LOL. I'll probably have to drain the purge gas/oil from the carbs, otherwise...I'm ready to go.

dajogejr Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Couple things. Talk to JT, he's getting half a barrel of methanol. Go to direct drive and get their quick disconnect fuel fittings, JD. It's what I have, and it is more simple than using one of those multi-fitting blocks... Probably cost less than 20 in fittings. Don't forget to gut your gas cap, and drill out the vent tube line. I drill mine 1/8 inch. I've got new things I'm trying on mine, but I promise I'll do my best to find time to help you as well!!

dajogejr Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Yep...hooked you up in the sandpit/shout box....but I think you went away...LOL. I put the female end on the line going to my fuel pump, and the male end on the line from my gas tank valve and my purge tank. You'll have to figure out how yours is gonna work. I run a fuel pump with one inlet, two outlet.... If you're running dual pingle, you'll need two female ends, 4 male ends (2 for the fuel lines from the pingle, two for the purge tank lines and use a T. You don't need anything special for the purge bottle, just a T with the quick disconnect lines.

dajogejr Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I run a pump, I wouldn't trust a stock fuel valve with no pump...unless you had billet bowls. Even then..that would make me nervous. I'd feel much safer with a dual pingle.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd feel much safer with a dual pingle.... You can get away with a stock petcock.....but take it off the tank and take the filters off the petcock. Also be very careful about how you run your lines and how you plumb the tee in. Once all hooked up turn the petcock on and make sure fuel flows freely to both carbs. Or you can just buy a pingle and be done with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajogejr Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Fine point Roger. First thing I did was remove and gut the reserve and on screens on mine, then gutted and drilled the gas cap... First time out with meth...I'd be nervous...either way, I know I sure was... Remember, FAT AS A PIG...then lean down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been running the same setup for a while now, time to get something new going! I think this will suit me good! Just got it all in yesterday, and its all pretty new stuff, ready to rock and roll. I dont know the specs on the carbs yet, If I call the guy and ask him, what am I looking for? All i know is that they are 34Pjs, converted to alcohol, and polished. I think im just guna get a damn pingel, run 5/16" lines, get it all hooked up with quick disconnects and stuff.... Better order this stuff today huh!
