moneybags Posted June 4, 2018 Report Posted June 4, 2018 Im having a problem with by banshee melting the fuel line on the left carb. I can't seem to reroute the line any other way with out kinking the line or melting the fuel line. I have a 421 cheeta power valve motor in a lonestar frame with Inframe shear pipes and 35 pwk carbs. Ive herd you can get get pwk carbs with the fuel delivery port on ether side. Anybody know where I can get a new carb with the fuel port on the right side. Thanks Quote
trickedcarbine Posted June 4, 2018 Report Posted June 4, 2018 A little heat shrink tube has always been my go to on several different types of pipes. Quote
Toybreaker Posted June 4, 2018 Report Posted June 4, 2018 https://www.keihin-na.com/aftermarket/pwk/ shows fuel inlet on right side of carb..... back (filter) looking front (intake) PWM has the fuel inlet on the other side, unfortunately it only comes in 38mm Quote
Ayesully810 Posted June 4, 2018 Report Posted June 4, 2018 I just went to advanced auto and got the heat resistant line. it dont melt at all. ill send you a pic tomorrow morning of it Quote

If you look at the pdf on the link above, it shows it on the left https://www.keihin-na.com/assets/1/7/pwk_parts.pdf But OP, have you tried using spacers to push the pipe away from the frame? Can you get pictures of the fuel line touching the pipe too? Quote
ginger Posted June 4, 2018 Report Posted June 4, 2018 you want your fuel line as far away anyway, being you are losing power by heating fuel up, and risk fire in reality. I would see if the pipe can get pushed out some, or there has to be a way to route it. Quote
locogato11283 Posted June 4, 2018 Report Posted June 4, 2018 Have you tried zip tying the fuel lines together? Do you run a dual Pingel or OEM tee? Quote
moneybags Posted June 5, 2018 Author Report Posted June 5, 2018 Yes, I'm running a duel pingle. I will see about getting a picture up tomorrow. I looked into spacing the pipe out. But don't think that would be a option. Spacing the front pipe out, only moved the middle of the pipe out maybe 1/2 inch. Do they make reed spacers for the cheeta? Thanks Quote
Ayesully810 Posted June 5, 2018 Report Posted June 5, 2018 semi related question, but does the fuel heating at all really play any part in performance? ive never heard that before Quote
sleeper06 Posted June 5, 2018 Report Posted June 5, 2018 Definitely wanna see a pic, can you spin the Pringle to help in any way. Cascade used to have nice heat wrap Quote
Keno Posted June 5, 2018 Report Posted June 5, 2018 I'm sure the fuel density changes. But it's probably a moot point. The biggest problem is when the fuel vaporizes is the fuel line! Quote

Wo yea it will hinder performance but you would never notice by the seat of the pants. Imo Quote
