Can anyone tell me where the pipe in this pic goes to on a gilera runner 50 standard carb, I think its a vacuum pipe but not to sure ?
Which pipe??? Looks like both from/to carb goes to the radiator flow I've blocked mine off as pointless IMHO If your bikes not liquid cooled then more likely a vacuum pipe
The two water hoses on the carb are for the thermostat by-pass, when the engine is cold the stat is closed but the engine is still pumping water round, it circulates water round the carb keeping it warm from freezing in the winter. There fitted for a reason and not pointless!
Ok, so where will the top pipe do to as I have one going from the carb to the plastic tube that the coolant hose connects to so cant see where the other one goes ?
Will go to the head coolant.. My opinion is there not needed and have found that nothing changes if not fitted but for peace of mind attach You can see from my pics that I've bypassed mine completely and have had no issues what so ever in 4000 miles plus
You said in your post that you blocked them off! In fact you have bypassed the carb, that's fine as you still have flow from the head back to the bottom hose. After market carb's don't have the water pipes and that's what you would have to do. If the std carb is used I'd run the water hoses through it.
No problem mate, I'm just chilling with a LARGE vodka and relentless! Checking out ebay, forum post's as you do when the wife's wathing crap on the telly!
Haha I'm here with a Morgan's spice and redbull Missus watch "take me out" and looking for parts for the many projects I have in the go Happy days lol
