connecting new fcr's up?

Post by markrennie » Sun Feb 12, 2012 5:22 pm

Please can anyone out there shed a light on the install of my new fcr 41's i have fitted them on to the bike which was pretty straight forward with new cables and filters but before i attempt to start the bike i want to make sure i have connected fuel lines and vents correct.
i have connected the fuel line from the fuel pump (i think that's what it is) on side of the battery housing, to the bottom inlet between the carbs and connected the vent pipe from the frame to the upper inlet between the carbs. i have fitted i believe just as the mikunis were fitted. also i cant see any inlet/outlet for the coolant to pass through so cut and plugged these at the hoses.
now i have one more hose that comes from one of the intakes and goes? i assume the fuel tap? is this correct any advice from someone whom has done this would be greatly appreciated.

Yep, the skinny hose from the inlet goes to the fuel tap :D

Just because you're breathing, it doesn't mean you're alive.
