fuel break coupler

[28hodge]

Has anyone got any pics of where they have located these if you have done the HRC tap mod, my bike already had the mod done and the it leaks in the off position, i cant see any way of locating it in the fuel line that wont require me taking the tank of to uncouple the connection.

Thanks in advance

could always fit a fuel solenoid?

I have one in between the fuel tap and the T junction for the carbs. Yes, I have to take the tank off to use it, but mine will still allow fuel to flow when disconnected.

I think the best thing to do is rebuild your tap.

could fit this so that its accessable on the RHS of the bike through the holes in the seat panel

i'll see if i can locate it on the right hand side and accessable ish if not i'll get one of the above taps.

Its a track only bike so would prefer to leave the vaccum pipe off, not that i think i need more fuel its just one less thing to check when the damn thing stops running.

Anybody got any other solutions that they have done on trackbikes?

no keen on the elec solenoid again just summat else to go wrong i guess, plus im a bit feckless when it comes to electrics.

Played around with this at the weekend, with mixed results.

Started by trying to get the hose to sit down the right hand side of the bike so that i could place the dry break in the tail section cut out. this wasn't possible to be honest, to go from the tap to the cut out meant that the fuel hose was way to easily kinked. The only way to avoid this was to take the hose forward, loop it through 180degrees and made it run from the front to the back of the bike past the cut out, then turned it through 180degrees again and took it from the back of the bike to the front and into the carb T piece, which i didnt like.

So i took it round to the left hand side cut out in as big of a 360 turn as i could to allow as shallow a radius as possible so as to allow easy flow through the pipe. This makes access to the dry break nice and simple.



This means i dont need to remove the tank everytime i need to undo the dry break. Been thinking about this yesterday and although im happy with its routing i think i will wrap the now longer fuel line in some exhaust packing as a heat shield, as while the fuel line doesn't go anywhere different to where the original fuel line went it may sit and rest on the rocker cover so thinking a belt and braces policy is probably for the best.
