Just a question?
On my old Guzzi that was fitted with FCRs, the petrol flow was regulated by a traditional On/Off/Reserve tap. When doing the FCR conversion on the TRX, how do you regulate the flow with the On/Res/Pri tap, so that they dont flood the carbs (it's a question I've always wondered and seeing a number of you have FCRs - there must be a way of doing it?)

On/Res/Pri is a vacuum operated tap, which works when the engine is turning.

Nothing needs to be changed, the standard tap and vacuum pump work fine. The float valves are what controls the flow.

Thanks guys, I was thinking very old school on this. Last bike I had with a vacuum tap was a brand new 1981 Suzuki 650 Katana (there was a bike - still holding their price today - wish I still had it
)

My father has a 650 Katana he found under a tree (close to the truth), do you want it?

Man, you must have been to rehab. How could you walk away from such an offer.
