can anyone tell me why the SR292 has two pulse lines on the case? Perhaps the twin sr433 or sr643 ran dual fuel pumps with seperate pulse lines? - but then why the 292?
 

Huh – that’s interesting. :o|

Is it two complete holes or a tee?

My guess would be someone installed a 2nd pulse line to run an independent Mikuni pump for pumping juice to the sliders.
 
every sr292 case I've seen has these two pulse lines. most guys I know dont have a good answer. the guys I know are using them for slide lube pumps. but was that yamaha's intention? intresting isnt it?
item #32 in the diagraphm

What does it show in the parts book about the carb. Are there 2 to the carb? ;):D

It was pumper stock - right?
 
Where do you find this junk ;):D
It does have two diaphrams.

Years ago my buddy built a flat track bike using a SR292. Next time I see him I'll ask.

He has evolved to a Yamaha 540 (+/-) sled engine with CVT in his street bike. Nothing touches it in 1/4 mile. :rockon:

The parts books must show some direction of the lines.
 
finding odd ball stuff can be fun.... have never seen a dual pumper like these so thought I would take a look at them. just something different!!!!!
its the only explination I can see for the two pulse lines. However these are not the original carbs for the sled. any idea what they were originally for?
based on this diagram, do i see a pulse line to the carb, and another to a pump?

The early Doo’s and Hirths had some type of return line going back to the tank. That could account for the mess of lines – but neither had 2 pulse pipes in the crankcase. ;):D

But wait…..you may have hit on something – yes I think you nailed it….. :rockon:

Like you observed – maybe one went an independent diaphragm pump and the other went to the diaphragm pump on carb – ya – that makes sense. :WayCool:

Maybe the old stock Mikuni’s didn’t have the poop to suck enough fuel to satisfy that big bore engine – or so they assumed. The chassis mounted pump acted as a supplement.

The proof would be if the stock sled came with a chassis mounted diaphragm pump cause for sure it came with a diaphragm carb. If it had the pump – thus the two required pulse lines.

Next? :o|
 
Double pulse lines are for a double pumper carb when running alcohol (or fuel as old racers call it). My 1971 blizzard 292 was set up this way.
