  • How to plumb the xs11s carbs? 4 Nipples?

    I completely forgot how this went together... Although I do remember when I bought the bike there was a tube that connected one petcock to the other.

    See this diagram:


    I remember the hoses connected to the bottom nipples, but don't remember anything with the top.

    Are the lines in red the desired configuration? One pair to each side of the tank? This is with a pod set up/ and seemingly no vacuum fuel distribution thing that the manual indicates. And then what of the original cross over tube?

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Top T's are bowl vents, open to atmosphere or connected to your airbox, lower T's are fuel inlets. Run your left fuel tap line across and down to the right fuel inlet and right tap to the left inlet.

      I like to run a H pattern a couple of tees where the crossbar meets the legs of the uprights, either tap will feed both sides
      where are we going, and why are we in this hand basket?
