Ram air fuel pump help

Post by benny » Tue Feb 24, 2015 8:49 pm

Ok so once the race bikes running again I've got a ram air setup to fit. It has a fuel pump, is this totally needed? If it is then am I ok running total loss with he fuel pump or will my LiPo battery die too soon?
Thanks

Your need the pump as the carbs/airbox will be pressurised and yes the battery will be fine

So total loss won't be a problem? Good to know.
I found an old link you posted of a TPS that fits the NC30. It doesn't work anymore, can you remember what it was?

I did one to fit NC35 carbs, 30 carbs are slightly different and there was someone on here that did it to NC30 carbs though.

I think the carbs with my ram air are 35 need to check. What sensor is it that fits the 35? Is it pretty easy?

Could you vent the fuel tank to the airbox to equalise the pressure?

You can but that causes other issues, can't remember exactly but I have in my head that it can cause the fuel to keep flowing when the throttle is shut
