R1 carb dilemma
hello all,
im on the verge of starting my engine, but i have just come across a snag, there are a couple of pipes on my carbs that im unsure what they do.
i have an idea of what they do but if someone could confirm for me.
fuel inlet pipe?
dont know what this electrical connection is? im running pinto engine, do i need this?
the big black one i think is a breather, but i dont know what the one on the right of the picture is, is this the vacuum advance that connects to the
dizzy?
any help is welcome guys,
Alex
I love Pinto's, even if i did get mine from P&O!

electrical connection in middle pic is for the TPS (throttle position sensor),
you don;t need it if your running a dizzy, only for megajolt etc

The top picture is of the fuel inlet.
The brass pipe on the end of the carbs goes all the way through to a smaller brass pipe on the other end. It doesn't connect to anything. I
run coolant through mine to stop carb icing. I think most people just leave theirs open. I only had problems with the engine leaning out when the
temperature was 0° and there was fog, cloud or other moisture in the air. The hot coolant sorted it out nicely.
