M750 project

Get it going. Looks great.

Need some adviceJ

Just been fitting some fuel line junked the diaphragm tap in place of a ball valve but keeping the diaphragm pump (which I will eventually junk when I find a decent small electrical one to take its place out of sight) I also have the std CV carbs. Can someone tell me what the two 6mm pipes are on the bottom of the tank see pic, are they breathers or for a return if a return where from? I can see breathers on the carbs but nothing else.

[utopia]

I think those two pipes are a breather and a drain, both from the fuel cap.

re. pump and tap....
1) with a manual tap, could the diaphragm pump be damaged if you start up without remembering to switch the fuel on...?
2) Some monsters had an internal electric fuel pump (not the round one in the base of plastic tanks, but one fitted through the filler neck and secured with clips inside). See Dukedesmo's project thread for details.

Not sure about damaging the pump. found old pipes in the box that fitted and suggested what you have confirmed but had some braded tube that I used instead.

I thought my seat looked a bit old against the newly painted tank and frame so dropped it off the be recovered yesterday and my wife picked it up on her way home this evening. Now thats service!

Who recovered it?

Seat looks like a tidy job - what did that cost you if you dont mind me asking?

Also the braided hoses look a lot better than having dull old rubber pipes hanging down.

Not a lot more than a standard seat cover loose, that was fitted and custom made worth the money in my opinion.

Spoke with David re: Seat cover, great guy, really knew his stuff, very friendly, my seat is being sent up next week for recovering and back a few days later, price is incredible.

Thanks for this supplier, great heads up, shame we dont have a supplier listing page on here, makes me wonder what other great suppliers Ive missed.

Sent my seat off to him on Friday, after seeing the incredible job he did with yours I'm like a school kid waiting to see the end result!

Thanks again for the pointer!

Finally finished my exhausts off late Friday night, one had been sitting 10mm lower than the other I thought just cut the last bend twist around a wee bit then weld up, was it feck ended up cutting the whole l/h side up and starting again 7hrs later finally happy with it.

Saturday afternoon took it off the bench put in some fuel and tried to start it up no joy! must have been an airlock in the fuel line from the tank to the diaphragm pump so used an airline and forced the fuel through it worked first stab of the button and my daughter ran for cover feck it is loud.

Sunday, Have made small carbon caps for the end of the exhaust which calms it down to a sam acceptable level.Fitted the belly pan and a set of bar end mirrors. Still have brakes and clutch to bleed.

Looks incredible, cans look immense.

What rubber are you running on?
