Damn, nice looking girl

Yes, i was assuming that. Although it is always advised, to tune the carbs the best you can, preferably with O2 Sensor etc

Then your jet kit is a waste of time and money, just rebuild with oem mikuni parts

Dirt in the fuel from a rusty tank blocking the pilot jets ?

Seems like a lot of work, but i am sure it will be worth it

Yes, i came across them too, and the 70.3mm reminded me of your engine. I am pretty sure that Cosworth made pistons for Yoshimura back in the day.

Do you need some of these Cosworth pistons ? #PA 0866 ?

Thanks for sharing the pictures !

I just stuck the draw through turbo kit on my Bandit, and after starting it up, i noticed an oil leak over the alternator/cables. Looks like the oil comes out under the V-Belt of the hot side on the turbo housing. Also the drain is not at the very bottom of the turbo, which made me think about turning the middle section - can this be done ? Never worked on a turbo before. from the pictures it may be not obvious, but the oil drain points towards the rear shock mounting frame brace, and not to the 6 o´clock position. I wonder what it should look like, and if ths may be the reason for my oil leak. In the feed pipe i have a carb jet restriction #125

Welcome back !

i was checking these sites: https://thunderproducts.com/product/thunder-powerjet/ https://thunderproducts.com/product/remote-float-bowl/ espescially the remote float bowl caught my eye, as basically you could double the available fuel volume, or provide a resource for the additional fuel needed when the Thunderjet starts sucking

Hi, i know it´s an old thread but i am building a draw through 1216 Bandt at the moment, and thinking about fuel delivery. I will go with HSR carb, and was checking the Thunderjet page, i think this is the way to go. What caught my attention was the thought to have a second float bowl just for the Thunderjet fuel delivery - does anyone have experience or records of using that ? Looks really promising to me !

That carb stand looks really nice, can you post some more pictures ?

Over here in Austria you pay a lot more for machining work, because there are only a few companies doing this

i dont have the right devices to do it myself
