    In need of help with my tri-z fuel lines/coolant lines

    Now, if anyone can help, i need pictures of how your fuel lines are hooked up, stock gas tank and fuel pump please. also if anyone has completely taken out the thermostat housing and just bypassed the complete unit, can you send me pics of your doings? Ive looked on bikebandit for the fuel lines and i cant tell anything from there pics, actual pictures would be very helpfull. even if you still have the complete stock setup for the radiators can someone send me pics of thoes too? im so close to being done with this thing (after about 2 years of working on it) and i just need these two things. thanks for any help.

    I have bypassed the thermostat housing on my tri-z. I will try to get my sisters digital camera and get some pics for you if no-one else comes up with any by this weekend.

    I cant scan my manual (scanner is on the fritz), but I'll explain the cooling system if it will help.

    The tops of the radiators are connected by a little hose (about 3/8 inch hose), and the outlets on the top of the radiators are connected to the thermostat, and the bottom of the thermostat is connected to the top of the cylinder head.
    The radiators are connected in the middle by a hose on the bottom, the waterpump cover outlet gets connected to the bottom right radiator, and the sidecase outlet is connected to the side of the head.

    Hopefully this will help you till you get some pics.

    the reason for just bypassing the whole unit is because the mounting tab broke off of it when i was trying to get it apart, now i dont have the cover with the mounting tab on it (its been almost 2 years) so ive just got to bypass the whole unit. i know exactly what you mean with the coolant lines. ive bought a copper "t" two copper elbows and some hose to fix this problem. now just need help with the fuel lines. can anyone shine some light on this? thanks for all the help so far.

    Ok I found my fuel line schematic, but again my scanner isnt working, so I'll try to explain it.
    If your looking at the right side of the bike (meaning the front wheel is to your right), the bottom fitting on the right side of the pump gets connected to the cylinder, the one right above it gets connected to to a t fitting which one side runs to a fitting on the tank by the fill cap, and the other side goes to the other petcock,(or straight to the carb if you deleted the pet cock).
    On the left side of the fuel pump, the top fiting gets routed to the side of the tank, and the bottom fitting on the pump gets routed to the fitting at the bottom of the tank, the fitting at the top of the tank at the back is just a breather.
