Hi All , I have got involved in a project trying to sort out a Drag racing kart for a mate of mine..............its a Honda 900cc fireblade bike engine with turbo fitted running on carbs with electric gear shifter. Its been standing for three years so needs a good sort out and some TLC. Here are a couple of links to it running at Santa Pod drag strip. This is how it looks now, bit of a sad state from sitting around for so long, the engine ran for a short while, chucked it and wont start again, its new petrol. The wiring is not the best and been done by someone else so I have been stripping the harness back to see wht goes where as the first step. Its had a genral clean off , just so its ok to work on and see what is what really at this stage. A few bits have been taken off to gain access to the wiring, its already looking better but still a long way to go yet. So I have managed to find some wiring instructions for the ingition and gear shirter on the net and am just tracing back wiring and will re do half of it as I am not happy with the way its been done and go from there .................. should sound nice with that exhaust :D Cheers Mick. |

Yes - Mad as a box of frogs! Looks a great project. Though it seems to have a number plate on the back, and lights on the front, I doubt you'll be able to insure it for road use :) Andy |

If it's staying on carbs I'd be tempted to junk the ignition and put it back to stock if you're having trouble with the running. I like the header design and compactness of the turbo install. What does it use for an oil return from the turbo? Looks too low for gravity-return. Thinking on it - have you changed the plugs? Turbos eat them up especially as they will have been using race fuel. Be careful when you try to remove them that the last two threads on the plug haven't rusted badly they might rip the threads out of the head. |
