MWM#7 Machining complicated fuel "T" that uses end cap filters! Keihin CVK's
Made a rather complicated new fuel "T" for the Keihin CVK's on the ZRX1200R because the plastic fuel "T" leaked and the O-rings are different. Dumb setup in my opinion. Now all the O-rings are exactly the same! Worked great! Complicated machining op's because of features for end cap style filters that snap on the fuel T. Enjoy the video.

I love watching your videos! I am restoring bikes for a hobby and I have a friend who's lathe and milling machine I can borrow, so your work is truly inspiring! Thanks and keep up the good work! Cheers from Sweden.
I love a home engineered solution that will outlive the original OE part. It really is such an inspiration to see you turn these parts on your lathe. With tools like that it seems the only true limitation is our imagination. How do you expect us to sleep now not knowing what your next project is going to be.🤣
Enjoyed the video, Tom. HAPPY THANKSGIVING and RIDE SAFE OUT THERE!
new channel? looks good, sounds good, and you seem like a natural in front of the camera :) you've got a sub from me
Great video , it is very interesting how you check the connections betwen the carbs . Can you make a short video about the device you use , would be great . Congrats for the piece you did with the lathe it is super well done !!

I have included it many times in videos, but never did a shorty on that, I'll work on that, great idea. It's quite simple, however, just a standard Blood Pressure cuff (this one's a Dixie EMS brand -- but they're all Chinese junk now) and I have an old vacuum/fuel pressure gauge I bought probably 15 years ago, a plastic "T" and some hose. Tee off the gauge in line between the cuff and the carbs, and Bob's your Uncle. Cheers.
My live center needed attention. It was packed with grease that was too heavy. I put in a light load of NLGI 0

I can't get it apart. Takes a special pin wrench. I'd like a narrow one anyway for additional tool clearance.
Happy Thanksgiving Tom. I was curious how long it would take to make the fuel T if you didn't have to film it?

This type of "T" with different features/geometry, if I was doing it for the first time, probably about 2 hours. I can bang out a straight "T" or a simpler one in which I've done before quicker than that. I'm really close to pulling the trigger on a DRO for this lathe, installation is going to be the challenge as I can't get at the back side easily. With a DRO I could speed up the process even more. Cheers.
