In bad need of purge system

[bada]

I have been using search and reading for hours,cant seem to find a purge system,or one for sale.I saw the one listed on wicked but thats a steep price.I am new to alky and my carbs are getting converted as we speek,any help would be geeatly appreciated.I am also willing to trade the items i have for sale or swap for one.Also is a water pump impeller a must have and does it keep the bike alot cooler?thanks

IMO the water pump impeller is a good idea. They have a different flow design which allows more coolant to flow in turns keeping your machine cooler. and it is cheap insurance for plastic parts dont last forever.

 

I'll keep looking for a purge system for you.

E-Bay has a purge block... not sure if this helps you?

Here's what you do....pull your fuel lines off the carbs, drain the tank of alcohol. Put fuel lines back on carbs, fill the tank up with however much gas you want to purge the system with, run it until it's out, load up and go home. No need to spend "extra" money on a system. Just my thoughts.

That is a part from majicmike here on BHQ. PM him and I bet he can give you some ideas on how to build a purge system for your bike and help you locate some parts.

from what ive seen all u need to do is have a container big or small hook it up to the carbs and run premix gas its pretty easy, i think u just run the bike until it starts to bog then u kno the alkohol is run out of the system

Id get a hold of majicmike here on the board. he has a sweet little 5-way T that will make purging easy as pie. I made my own purge bottle mounted on my bars on my bike and when I'm done for the day, I shut off my main tank, fill the purge bottle and just run the bike until it gets all shitty. I don't have to swap hoses, hook up any outside tanks or anything. ...and I've got a filter on my purge tank so no worries of crap getting in while I purge. Its a sweet setup and pretty cheap for the T from mike.

 

You could use a nalgene bottle or anything really for your purge tank. I made my own out of aluminum and mounted it on my bars, it holds about 16oz and I fill it twice and about half-way through the second fillup my bike starts to load up pretty good and I run it till it dies, then put it away.

 

simple stuff.

So the idea of draning alky out of gas tank,then running race fuel mixture in tank to purge wouldnt hurt the alky next time i put the alky back in it?Cause that sounds alot easier than using a purge system.Help please.....

[bigboybanshee]

No, it shouldn't hurt it at all. If you don't burn all the purge gas, drain it out...I don't see how running two different fuels through the tank could do any damage

[dajogejr]

They also make a quick disconnect fitting as well, to work in conjunction with MajicMike's purge T, makes it even easier....

[bada]

Where can i find these quick disconnect fittings?Thanks for the help everyone i really appreciate it..

a very lick purge tank is a snowblower gas tank

 

certain snoblowers i think made by jacobson or gilson the old paddle wheel style

they have a gas tank that straps onto the frame of the machine and the tank has a handle on it to pick the machine up with

 

if i think of it i will snag a few pics as i have a pair of them to use on machine to run them with no tank on

 

its about right to hang ont he handlebars while you do that
