Title: Put in standard airbox now cuts out when open throttle
Post by: Stevelmk on October 02, 2019, 03:38:20 PM
Got my airbox on eventually got the breather hose on now here's were problems begin it will fire up and just bout run  but won't go once I give it any throttle it dies. I think what's happening is the two fuel pipes going from carbs are getting trapped I just laid them on top of the pods but with airbox no room.
But I have very little pipe to play with the two pipes coming up from my carbs are maybe 2-3 inches in length  can't see how wrap around the carbs. It was running on the pods prefer stock  is fuel line routing that important on 85 fjs very close to getting it running one hurdle to get over

.
Hard to say if there a kinked vacuum tube as below airbox is credit card tight less then an inch I will put up pics when I find somewhere to display.

Nope not mine, this is just one example of Alan's (aka Firehawk068) fine work. 
This is a bike Alan restored for a client. Restored is a understatement, more like resurrected.

If it was Father Pat's FJ, you would need sunglasses for a viewing.  On sunny days a welding visor is preferable.  :biggrin:

I'm sure Mr Conlon knows that I have been egregiously misquoted by Mike Schiff here and that I would never write something so scandalous, salacious and derogatory.  Besides, God only made a few perfect heads, the rest he covered with hair.

Back to our regularly scheduled programming.
