spitfiremk4 Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 On the float chambers of the HS4 rear (FZX1122R) there are three connections: one for petrol in from the pump, one going to the front carb and another. On the front (FZ1122F) there is a in from rear carb and another.Where do these two others go. The books show hoses connected but not where they go.

Richard B Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 This is the overflow (spill). On early Spitfires this leaked over the resevoir and onto the exhaust. :oOn later 1500's there are pipes to dump any petrol overflow on the ground by the radiator (all rather embarrasing really). :B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gt6s Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Actually breathers for float bowls but also act as overflows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
