Jolfa's FAQ / How to guide to bike carbs

they may be the same make and design but i am sure that the r1 uses bigger carbs than 38mm that the r6 uses.

My carbs had a return so i am not sure what ones you had ? i think i would have experienced running problems if i had plumbed them into the diaphram breathers lol

 

there definatly carbs maybe hes got the year wrong then?

 

Right, I've been offered some R6 carbs. Will these be ok to run on an ABF lump or will I need to run 1000cc carbs.
Please let me know, I have someone waiting on your awnsers!

Cheers

 

R6's are fine.

 

It's all about getting them jetted to suit, as with all carbs really.

 

Ok cool, I just needed someone to go definitive!

Thanks x

 

Thanks to this guide Jolfa

Thanks to you, have built their own manifold !











I have carburetors with GSXR 1000.

I have a problem with the connection of gaswith carburettors links.
Could someone help me?

Sorry for my english

Greetings from Polish

 

Approved ^^

 

That is a one great guide.
I hope that this might help those who have problems with wiring:


I am just wondering - old VW engines with carbs has the Vacuum advance distributors. Is it worth to try to convert the stock 16V distributor to vacuum advance distributor?

 

The throttle cable? I just trimmed the end of mine a bit

There's so little to the 16v setup it wouldn't be worth it. For the sake of 3 wires you're better off sticking with what's been tried and tested (in my opinion of course )

 

Hey, can anyone confirm what jets i need please, Jolfa said to get 175's.

For what carbs..?

If you know what bike they're off then ring Allens, they're a helpful bunch, I had no idea what I was talking about when I went there first time

Alternatively buy a 1.75mm drill bit and do it yourself (all my mates engines and my rear enigine went for this method as it's considerably cheaper [])

 

Another wiring diagram guys. Just a bit more colorful version of the "84 GTI 16v"


Today I decided to upgrade the 1.8 20V engine with carbs. I have the engine for quiet a while now. I wanted to equipped it with Digifant 3 from ABF, but the original manifold is just so ready for the carbs ...and I have already fitted the 16v (KR) dizzy by mistake (ABF dizzy is different).

 

There're r6 carbs bro...I'll give them a tinkle tomorrow. Thanks bro

 

As anybody done this to a 8v? Non cross flow, or is it too tight for the manifold?

Good Guide!

 

Can do it to any engine ever.

 

Only problem with non-cross flow is cleanrence from the bulkhead :L.

 

What wires did you use when connecting the fuel pump. The original K-Jet pump has 4 wires going to it. And the bike pump that I've got only has 2!

HELP!!!

 

The live and the earth... Should be pretty easy to find out which these are []

Does the plug on the original pump only have 2 spades..?

 

R1 pump

Hi Jolfa, thanks for all the info you have posted. Could you advise me on where to mount the R1 pump? Is it best to stick it where the original pump was under the car? Do you still need the original fuel filter as the R1 has a small filter on it?
