11 Feb Bucket race meet

**F5 Dave** · 25th January 2007, 08:25

Well did a search & can't find reference to it elsewhere (well, except in the unmentionable thread about page 506).

Anyways cut & paste from Bayden's email:

We have a great new venue to race at. We are looking to be here for the next 2 years!!! OR more. We are having a fun day on the 11th of Feb 07 at the Wellington wind turbine ( long valley ) and then follow the signs! It starts at 12:00 noon. This is to see how it all goes. The surface is all new and a great location. Please come and support the kick off of buckets & motards for 2007.

You're too slow to even get to the que mate.

**Fatjim** · 27th January 2007, 12:32

Be good to see you. Found any carbs yet? I have one but has a size issue. The float bowl is 3mm too deep to clear the engine/gearbox casing.

Grind the cases

Might just work

Drain pipe can be filed off, had to do this for the RG, careful clean & devcon/file might be the go. But having them touch is not preferable for vibration frothing fuel.

I'll take a pic tonight and see what you think. Too hard to explain the issue in words. And, yeah, frothing the fuel is what I'm trying to avoid.

It's not really clear in this pic.

Are you saying I don't need a drain hose to a catch tank for the carb?

**F5 Dave** · 29th January 2007, 14:24

That drain is only open when you turn the screw so no you don't need that or to route that to a catch bottle. You do need to on the breather tubes, but they are half way up the carb.
