Anyone know a reason, why this shouldn't work on a Trident please. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/40253881...oJNIJYShV2s5IbhYlnFQ|ampid:PL_CLK|clp:2047675
Looked at this myself for a 97 sprint , would require the stand off / spacer off the old tap , otherwise I'd say it's at least a 50/50 chance if not better . And you'd have to blank off the vacuum port that would go to the vacuum switch on the fuel tap. I even went so far as to order one , it didn't travel well and arrived broken. So get them to wrap it well !!
I would have thought, that a hose should run from that vacuum port, on the tap, to the carb, as it doe's on the original tap. The only difference being, this one has an off position, as opposed to a prime. Or am i missing something ? My carbs are Mikuni's.
The original tap has 2 fuel lines, and 1 vacuum. I assumed that 1 fuel line was for normal flow, and the other for reserve.This tap has only 1 fuel line. Someone else said that the 2 hoses ran together on both settings, as well as prime. And that just 1 line would not supply enough fuel. He tried using just 1 line on his 1200, and it wouldn't hold full throttle. I fitted a rebuild kit to my tap. but it made no difference. Many others have had no luck with it either. I could, and probably will, end up buying a new OEM tap. It just pisses me off, to pay £70, for it...
