I run a 320 and just drilled out my siphon and lower surge tank return orifices ...Works great.

if you drilled out the siphon then how is the fuel from the RH saddlebag getting transferred over to the LH side where the pump is?

by majic ............ It works without compromise (for 6 months now) , what else do you want to know ?


When I say "drilled it out " ..... I did actually put some thought into how big the drill should be .

I tossed that ****** in the trash. I just used a bulkhead fitting for the feed. Ran the pump to that and welded one of the filter outlets onto the Venturi. Used the stock feed as the return and ran that to the venturi. 30r10 line is expensive but otherwise good to go.

Finished the harness today. Just gotta secure it and smooth out the rough edges tomorrow. Then it's exhaust time. Anyone here want a Tanabe Medallion catback before I take a cutoff wheel to it? I may use it but it may not be enough exhaust for my manly motor.

Anyone see anything wrong with this sender?

If i'm understanding that setup .... the return line runs through the stock siphon . That wont get around the issue that the siphon is too small to flow that much fuel .....................

Well i was pointing out that i put the sender at full extension with the line that doesnt bend. Had to cut it way shorter. Bummer on the siphon issue. I guess i gotta see how it works out. Seems like it will work out fine.

Yeah thanks. I'll never port another intake though. What a pain in the ***. Had to get rid of the LS2 intake though. Apparently it's the worst flowing intake in the LS family.

Why was he banned? He was a pain when it came to rotary specific things, but other than that he seemed fine to me...

He went off the deep end in the "free for all" swap opinions thread. I didn't even get to see his rant they deleted him and banned him by the time I went back to the thread.
