Title: direct fuel line
Post by: Twinkle on February 19, 2005, 03:27:34 AM
If one should run a direct fuel line, what should you do with the vacuum hose coming of the crabs?

Should you blok it or just let it hang.

Mine isn't plugged and I havn't noticed anything wierd.  What are benefits that plugging it would provide?  :dunno:

How do your plugs look, Dom? Is the left whiter than the right? It's such a small orifice, but you are suckin' unfiltered air through that little hole.

The bike will run lean with the line off.  Way lean.

Could this be the source of your re-jetting woes??  Don't I remember you having some pretty serious problems a while back with carb set-up?
