Alrighty then............. The bottle works great, but fills up in like 10 short passes. and you have to put a pin breather hole in it. Think I'm going to need a bigger bottle. As soon as it fills up it floods and pukes out the top of the carb. I'm going to keep messin wit it.

Re: Overflow Tube ?????

Better than the bottle! My freind had the soda bottle on his EX until I brought this to his attention. Get a water bottle and holder(one that holds tight so you dont loose it)fasten it to your sub frame,(this will require extra line) it then will be up higher so It dosn't fill up so fast and it also help to hold some of the gas in the carb(this is a good thing) Also you have a tank breather that doubles as a drain when upside down (breather leaks and 90% of the time starts on fire in a roll-over) run this line into the bottle also(instead of your breather hole, because it will help to circulate the fuel line pressure and will catch any gas leaking out when upside down.


p.s. No I'm not smart and none of this was my idea, it's been used by drag racers since the begining of time, however it works great!

Re: Overflow Tube ?????

Let me tell you for now use a 1 liter about and make shure it is right above the rear tire it will cause the least splash being on the center of gravity
