abusive throttle cranker Posted March 29, 2013 #1 Posted March 29, 2013 Can someone please take some photos under the air box of a 1st gen MkII? From various views and angles? I bought this fixer upper and the carbs were already off. Then I ripped it further apart to do the valve clearances. The manual is poor in this area- and their pics are useless. I need to find out where everything goes. I do have a couple in the correct place but the rest? I'm clueless.
Flyinfool Posted March 29, 2013 #2 Posted March 29, 2013 We need to know which version you have. The plumbing on a California model is very different from the rest. Mine is a Cali model but was bought new and always owned in Wisconsin.
abusive throttle cranker Posted March 29, 2013 Author #3 Posted March 29, 2013 I think its a California model. A canister was included in the "other stuff" I was given when I bought it. I bought it from a guy in Kingman AZ which is right across the border from Cali. Is there any way to tell exactly?
Flyinfool Posted March 29, 2013 #4 Posted March 29, 2013 If it has the canister then it is most likely a cal model. A lot more hoses. I am trying to figure out how to replumb to stock NON cal.
abusive throttle cranker Posted March 29, 2013 Author #5 Posted March 29, 2013 That'd be fine too. I live in AZ so I don't need it. And if it is simpler then I'm all for it.
Howard B Posted March 29, 2013 #6 Posted March 29, 2013 I know that I have not been a lifelong rider, But, I do know that nothing is simpler than it seems. Especially with motorcycles!
abusive throttle cranker Posted March 31, 2013 Author #7 Posted March 31, 2013 Well, I know where the two which come out of that long slim thing nestled between the cylinders go. The one which comes out of the top of the fuel tank turns up then does a 180* and goes down into a plastic fuel filter looking thing. Upon emerging from the bottom it goes across the motor to the left side and turns forward horizontally into a T. A 3" hose comes out of the T downwards and I think goes into the emissions canister where it says "tank". The other leg off the T is increased in diameter and I THINK the free end of the hose coming off the vacuum sensor mounted under the coils and thru another T goes there. As for what else goes on that last T I really have no idea. Its pre-existing curvature is horizontal and directly to the rear. But I don't think it goes to the carbs. For one thing it is about level with the bottom of the air box.
Snaggletooth Posted March 31, 2013 #8 Posted March 31, 2013 I doubt that these will help but it's all I got to offer.
abusive throttle cranker Posted March 31, 2013 Author #9 Posted March 31, 2013 Thanks Snaggle. Hmmmm that photo shows no T in the line out of the canister. You own a MK I. Is that what I'm looking at?
Snaggletooth Posted April 1, 2013 #10 Posted April 1, 2013 Sorry. I've got the '84 but it's not a Cali model. Those were just pieces of things I picked up trying to learn more on these bikes. Personal experience with a Cali model..... I got nada.
Eck Posted April 1, 2013 #11 Posted April 1, 2013 I cant take a photo....... until I find the air box...
abusive throttle cranker Posted April 1, 2013 Author #12 Posted April 1, 2013 U better find the bike too- cuz that ain't it!
Guest Swifty Posted April 2, 2013 #13 Posted April 2, 2013 I cant take a photo....... until I find the air box... HOWLEEE CRAP! What are you doing?
Snaggletooth Posted April 2, 2013 #14 Posted April 2, 2013 I cant take a photo....... until I find the air box... Yikes!!! I feel so much better seeing that after tearing into mine last week. I didn't make a dent compared to that. You da man!!
