Scottoiler vacuum feed, where from? - SV650.org

garynortheast · 13-02-11, 06:08 PM

Just about to get a Scottoiler to go on the SV. Could someone confirm (or otherwise) that T-ing into the vaccuum feed for the fuel tap will have no effect on the tap. I assume the tap will function normally as there will still be a vacuum there.

Ive seen others do that without issue

Excellent. Thanks for that.

Yes it's fine.

BTW the normal tee supplied is too small for the vacuum tubing used, you need something to fill in the gap, or a bigger tee.

This is a 2nd hand one Chris, originally bought for a Triumph so I'd been warned already that the t-piece is the wrong size. Thanks for the heads up anyway.

Go to the Scottoiler website and download the installation guide. http://www.scottoiler.com/uk/installation-guides.html
Worked for me.

All fitted and done - carbs balanced too. The carbs were way out, it feels like a different bike now. It pulls cleanly from ludicrously low rpm and there's no more of the popping and f@rting from it on a steady throttle opening. I fitted the longer piece of hose to the front vacuum spigot to make balancing an easier job next time round.

Scottoiler is in place and I'll just need to spend a while adjusting the flow rate over the next few days.

Hi Gary

I'm glad you got it all sorted - did the bigger T connector fit then?
