FJ 1200 carbs

[melbxs]

#1 is the plastic T an original piece,, and is supposed to be that loose or is it the wrong part

#2 if I'm right, and the cast T is the main fuel feed what part does the plastic T play

#3 can we fit the carbs to the XS and cap the plastic T{not being sure what it does}

Good plan.

The Uk guys discussed this change at length here....

On the fiche, there does appear to be 2 T's (32 & 34) ,

Not sure if those are what you mean? Maybe if you got a photo one of the UK guys would be able to tell you what can be discarded.

Let us know how you get on.

I have a set of 1200 carbs,, have checked measurements and they will fit in the XS,,

beside the bowl over flow pipe is the main fuel feed line I assume, cast alloy with 2 o/rings,which is a tight fit,

above that a bit is another "T", made of plastic,1 o/ring and is a very loose fit,

#1 is the plastic T an original piece,, and is supposed to be that loose or is it the wrong part

#2 if I'm right, and the cast T is the main fuel feed what part does the plastic T play

#3 can we fit the carbs to the XS and cap the plastic T{not being sure what it does}

the XS carbs are leaking air like there's no tomorrow,around the shaft seals and with a spare carb set will be cheaper than any alternative
