From experience you want to have a tank above the carbs to replicate the pressure from the tank with gravity / pressure.

I did a small fuel test and the needle and seat where fine, I put a lawn mower tank hanging above the carbs filled with gas and they leaked.

How did you fix?

[Oil cooled OEM carbs - push/pull throttle or not?]

I have just obtained a set of BST38s from a GSXR 750L (1990; Uk market???). I am a little surprised that they do not accept a push-pull throttle and only take the opener cable. This had me wondering, so to enable a further update on the carb compatability article (see above), I would like to collate some further info. What I would like to know is which OEM carbs for specific OSS oil cooled bikes had a push-pull or not.

Blandit 1200 Mk 1 and MK2, UK market, push-pull

Blandit 1200 MKi and MKII US use push/pull.

Check out ‘Frankensteins Pages’ in The Vault. All you need to know is in there. And more besides!

Much more.  Katana Mangler has a ton of good info in there.  Search Frankenstein in the vault, that's how I found it.

Wish I could help.  Nobody has any ideas?  YOur post was a couple months ago.  Did you get it sorted?

[Oil temp gauge]

I fitted one to the main oil gallery, couldn't bear the thought of hitting a speed bump and tearing one out of the sump plug.

Seems reasonably accurate but only use it for a guide as I don't not how much heat it's picking up from the cases but on a 18-20 dgr day is 70-80  and rises to @ 90-95 on the gas

M16  to 1/8NPT thread for sensor

Sounds like the same setup I have.  I am measuring the oil galley temperature.  Mine usually reads around 210-220 degrees F.  If it gets higher I have three electric fans zip tied to the oil cooler.  On a hot day if I am stuck in traffic it MIGHT get to 230 deg F at the most.  I mounted my analog gauge in the center of my fairing in a flat spot above and in between the speedo and tach.

In fact, one time my front fender was cracked in half (long story) and was partially blocking the oil cooler.  I might not have noticed right away except that my oil temperature was running noticeably hotter.

Also on the highway if I draft semis, my oil temperature rises about 15 deg F.  That's how I can tell I am in the slipstream.

The advice is great thank you.

When I raised the needle I could see wear in the coating of the needle, not something I saw when I raised the needle on my 7/12 back in the day. 

I bought new standard pilot jets from Fowlers of bristol Wednesday morning and for £6 they turned up today (Thursday). Very happy. 

 

I'm going to fit them at the weekend and hopefully all will be well.

 

Thanks again for the advice, for those who care/need to know I will post again soon. 

 

So did you get resolved?  Your last post was back in May and you said you would post agsin soon.
