    We got a load of ex Japan new in NZ 400's in the 80's, overstocked in Japan, unloaded in NZ for a good price. The above list is very true, GB Hondas, XV Yammys all sorts of bikes. I remember the first load of bikes being about $3500 new, sold out almost overnight and the next load had a 'dealer' increase of a few hundy, the last touched $3999.

    Moving forward to the early 2000's Suzuki Summer Fest the GS1200ss arrived shit cheap. Next shipment and random box opening exposed bikes with titanium Yoshi headers and alloy cans - dealers paid the same but quickly threw on a few hundred 'extra' for the Yoshi equipped bikes. I owned a Yoshi equipped machine - the headers were quite beautiful, perfect slip fit and fantastic exhaust note.

    A day of tanks. had to move the taps on a steel tank for a bike I have here. Different motor, carbs in a different place, taps fouled carb tops.
    So machined up bosses and welded them in. Time flies.

    Anyway, got the filler cap neck glued and rivetted in on the bucket tank.
    Mounts are : a rubber pad on the frame, a 10mm rod through a rubber bushed crosstube in the tank - registering with the subframe mounts, and a yet to be made rubber bushed mount off the subframe in front of the seat.
    Tank's roughly 6 litres. Height in the pic is deceptive - top of filler is only about 100mm above seat level.

    It'll have to run a pump as about half the tank capacity is below the carbs.

    Rocker cover cap as per GPR it s neat trick.
    I just know you want to set up the fuel pump with a rockermon the swingarm like a JPS or a works G45.
    That said why cant you use a pulse pump like a Outboard or kart of the crankcase pressure.

    You need to run a regulator and return line, a Yamaha pump with built in regulator would be far better

    Already have an FZR250 pump and filter. Bulky and heavy but simple.
    The fitting on the tank top is actually for a breather. as the cap was originally an oil filler, it seals pretty well.

    Already answered - but given the small cylinder size, intake pulses would be IMO too small.
    Crankcase volume fluctuations again would be barely noticeable - the cases are actually a bigger volume than OE with half the crank missing, LOL.

    Two true i forgot got the other 2 cylnders cases there as well.
    The Harleys and some of the kart clone Chinese Hondas have pumper tilitsons on them harleys obviously have small cases large cylinders as a V twin but the clones don't.
    I wonder if thats an option if you cant get the Kehins to work properly the pumpers work at any angle

    That said whats wrong with rocker pump on the swingarm or are your tracks are too smooth over their.
    I cant remember what you were going to run Total loss electrics?

    Yeah, total loss electrics. Only ignition and pump to power. And yes, as we're only running on the big tracks a swingarm pump isn't really feasible.

    Was at a meeting a month or so ago where the dirt karts ran. Didn't notice any pumper carbs - most now seem to have gone to injection on the Lifans.
    When I can open that link I'll have a look. Didn't know 4T pumpers were available.

    If you're referring to Husa's (cough) long term project, I've yet to see any....

    Mine, harness is reasonably simple. As befits an elderly builder, LOL.
    And, no, I'm not available to trouble shoot yours, sorry.

    It would be funnier if both of you weren't using parts from husaberg.
    But i took it as being compered to Mikes it has buggar all wires. Besides Its Dave job to poke fun at me.

    I actually tripped over the NSR125 the other day.

    It does have some wiring Mike. 4mm alloy plate used to mount battery box lower outside, ignition box upper, outside. Coils are stacked on inner side.
    Seemed like a good way to use the space. Battery is low, forward and accessible.
