What fuel pump you running mate?Are you using a regulator?

[hotrs2000]

Think its a red top but will have to check, yes I am running a regulatar as the bike carb need a max of 3 psi.
I have also seen one car that got the fuel pump of the bike and fitted that, this way you don't need the regulatar he is on the oldskoolford site.

Thanks mate.Have ordered a bike pump!Having problems with pedal resistance at the moment,way,way to light! Did you have similar problem or am i missing something obvious?

[hotrs2000]

Pedal is very light but you get use to it, I used the original FORD outer cabel to route the new cable.

I'm at work at the moment but will take some pics Tuesday afternoon and post them on here for you.

Hi im deciding an engine for my escort at the min and am thinking of bike carbs. What do you guys with them think of them? Also how much roughly did they cost you to put on if you don't mind me asking?

i'm well happy with my R1 carbs, they cost me £325 all in but I was one of the first to go this route and prices have gone up a bit.
Bogg Brothers are the people to speak with. This has there address and web site listed http://bbs.rallyesportescorts.co.uk/...ght=bike+carbs

Thanks mate!Got it running today .Used a kawasaki fuel pump wired via relay!Fuel filter before hand.Made an extra spring for throttle,better feel now.Having problems getting throttle cable right,doesnt seem to like to return right.One of the vacumn controled butterflies doesnt work when reved.Diapharagm is ok.Will ring boggs monday to arrange a set up.It sounds well though and revs nice.(may also have something to do with the lightweight flywheel i've fitted!

I had a set a couple of years ago Made by Mr Shorecroft, looked the biz but, the manifold was slightly out so did not fit on the head, I threw the dolly out the pram and sent them back, which I had adjusted the manifold now

Cost me £350 That gets you a manifold(i had to open the holes up to get it fit,pop though just a mil extra sized drill)Carbs with throttle cable.You will need to buy a cable block for your accelerator About £10.Same as twin carb block,from burtons etc.I used a motorbike fuel pump at £160 brand new(Small and neat)! A filter £6 again for a bike,fit before pump.pump has a built in regulator set at 3psi.Dead simple to fit,i used a relay and bought a universal fuel filter bracket from burtons at £17,mounted to inner wing mid way down with a couple of rubber bushes to prevent air bubbles!(Bracket also comes with h/d foam to wrap around it!Approx £50 to set up at boggs!
