Quotei was just wondering if the extra fuel it squirts creates a slightly higher idle after twisting the throttle when it's running.

No, just a bit flooding/boost. f the start, like the old flooding button on old Amals f e.

& +1 on testing oil pressure asap.

hmm, can I use the fittings for the carb heating kit? When I cranked it over, oil came out the fittings, haha!

No, pretty sure w FCRs, oil line & cooler holes need to be plugged.
Do not remember dimensions but not so much pressure there.
Easy fix w medium Loctite.

IIRC, used a shortened 4mm wood screw w flat head (!) at oil line,
cooler had unusual threads, very fine 8mm?

So, negative on using the Carbheater fittings for oil pressure? Where should I hookup an oil pressure gauge?

I did not get you ment the oil p gauge, maybe that`s possible, dunno.

The gauge I had used the oil pressure sender indicator hole front of clutch housing.

Edit: As speeddog says, IIRC little rusty sometimes nowadays....

The oil pressure switch is right behind the oil filler.

It's an M10x1 thread, so you'll need an adapter fitting.

Yeah that heating kit only fitted stock carbs with special 'oil jacket' float bowls. Toss it into the box with the stock carbs and get an original or fancy oil line set up. The FCRs don't freeze up like the stockers and if you have a harsh enough winter for them to freeze you won't be riding.

You are really fortunate the bike came with FCRs. They are great carbs.
