fyi clive.
if its the same as mine. TZ750 tank strap for the front of the tank. I bought three till I got the right one!
I did hear that on the really early spondons they used rubber belt off those old metal upright hoovers drive belts.

Also, maybe everyone knows this page, but i found this the other day, which is on topic of this topic :
http://www.spartgsxrspecials.com/turbo%20do%20and%20dont.htm
Seems interesting for info ?
Thats off alan page. pretty sure he cut and pasted that off a mate on a yank site given some of the terminology.
He runs a turbo gsx1300. you'd know it if you'd seen it

@Gpz1100_Convertyes have thought about lock-up clutch which as you say will not fit. Will do what @Fredrik_Steendid with his 500hp setup.
what did Fred do? I know there was a mod you could do back in the day with a shallow clutch pack with huge springs and hydraulic clutch .. also there used to be a different pack with springs the size of hotel sized coke cans. strip only mind given the pull on them.

saw that posted on that there facey. hope you didn't pay full whack eh.
Loads of potential there for a dead cool oldskool built.
One thing if you plan to turbo as I did. Factor in the clutch cover to coax pivot point as if its anything like my coax then there is 1mm clearance so lockups are a no go. There are options like heavy springs but they won't hold much more than 170bhp which makes a turbo a little pointless. Mine even has the cut out for the mr turbo kit and still I wasn't prepared to go turbo draw through. stuck N/A.

why not stick it in that drag bike you brewed up rick? mod plenum and away you go. if the turbo is goosed likely worth a rebuild perhaps. do bear in mind all turbos have some play. excessive is harder to work out mind.

et work a treat just make sure you have the matching cover it it won't fit
-
given the speed of the rattle.. it does sound like the cam chain to me as well. Hard to tell but carb rattle is different on the rs carbs and it doesn't sound like an air leak to me.

renault 5 turbo version one was a draw through I believe.
Not many about as fire was an issue..........
all comments about keeping fuel vapiourised due to air speed in venturi are spot on. Its solvable mind Mr Rix would be a good person to speak with I suspect as Clive sez.
Dave dunlop has experience too mind. Its about what you want it for eh
-
its a thing of beauty that. Silk boxing glove with a knockout punch.
spot on

From memory float height wants to be 14mm, measure in middle of the float as float opens. Float valve have little springs on them. You can rotat the carbs to see this working need to be set as these are just about to open.
I thought you measured from the top of the float myself. all the manuals say that. i usually make a float height tool using the lid of a chinese takeaway lid/ 14mm seems right mind.
Bear in mind seeing as you'll have installed a fuel pressure regular and a return plus the pump you will need likely to set the float heights a mm higher than normal so they technically close earlier.

and if you want frame work in kent. Lee at Steeheart engineering is you man. Last we spoke he is taking on work as well. Mark

RCD do most of racefits engineering work.
On the same estate I believe.
After all racefit are an exhaust company eh
-
racefit built. seen it in the flesh and its spot on. every piece of machining is perfect. RCD did most of that work as I understand it.
Loadsamoney though...lol

I'd really like to be first in line if he's selling those parts. Can you ask if he still has needed parts? I'll just basically need cover and maybe extension axle to crank.
Jouni
I'll see if I can find his number. he is a little 'off the grid' kinda guy so we shall see!
