Top Tier Tri-z - REINCARNATED

Just read on the other page and gas was flowing out of the carb vents? The float height should be 15-17mm. Or perhaps you have a foreign object stuck in the needle valve causing the needle not to seat or the needle itself is bad.

being a snowmobile mechanic (they have fuel pumps)i can tell you that if gas is pouring out your overflows 99% its the needle and seat. either worn or junk in it like 3Razors said. the extra pressure can make a weak seal leak when it wouldnt on a gravity fed carb

HAHA Jeff we both have carb problems.

I've moved it to the top tier forum atleast 3 times, but it keeps getting moved back out, I guess for better viewing.

true it is better viewing here

wow, just went through this build, unbelievable job. wow you guys have some talent.

i never knew how complicated the tri-z is. no wonder yamaha hates Honda for grabbing a patent on the upper gas tank design.

Any luck?? i hated the fuel pump system on my first Z.It leaked and had other problems.Since the Zinger tank.Never a problem.But I did run a stock carb.

On a side note.I got intouch with OMF and am in the process of ordering a belly and rear skid plate. Thanks for that help.I was rereading your post and looked them up on Google.Quick response from the.Sent mer pics and all.

Hope you get the bike going.Talk to you soon.Mike

So whats the deal jeff. You sent me a message last night of her running and she sounds NUTS! Why you not post it on the forum so everyone else can enjoy?!

**3Razors** · 09-13-2009, 02:40 PM

He probably got it running and is having fun with it today.

**Mosh** · 09-13-2009, 05:28 PM

Sounds like he filled the tank and rode off into the sunset, never to be seen again, except as a occasional blur in the woods..Kinda like Bigfoot..

Four kicks and ten beers ago our japanese fathers brought forth, a new three wheeled demon machine, concieved in insanity and dedicated to those who were all deemed mentally deranged...

After a little work to the carb and removing a piece of what looks to be part of my red plastic fuel funnel from the carb it roared to life last night. Around 10pm a noise that can be described as pure evil came from the garage. It was the culmination of a two plus year build. And yes I did ride it out of the garage and into the moonlight sky with those gigantic lights peering through the darkness. So much light that planes began to seemingly taxi there way into the backyard. This thing is pretty impressive. Can't wait to get a video up. Hopefully soon.

Good job man, can't wait to see the

and video!

Congrats!

**Jonpin** · 09-14-2009, 04:05 AM

Yea i want to see it move and hear the noise that can only be described as pure evil that came from your garage. Congrats on a sweet bike. are you going to use it or keep to just look at? I would personaly be affraid to get it dirty. but whats the fun in that.

**The Goat** · 09-14-2009, 08:43 AM

**keister** · 09-14-2009, 12:31 PM
