petrol tank

[Benjo]

does the petrol tank have to be mounted above a motorbike engine or can it be below it?

Usually above. It can be mounted below if you have a fuel pump. You can get them cheap online. and NR-racing.com ships international.

Depends on the carburetor, too. Walbro carbs have a built-in fuel pump ... you see those mainly on weedeaters and leaf blowrs.

Some random bikes have pumps too. I was working on my friends Honda Shadow 2002 because it wasn't getting fuel, found that there was a seperate fuel pump. So we just bypassed it and it worked fine. I took the pump off, replaced gaskets and kept it 8]
