I recently swapped the engine over on the zxr400 for a none uk spec one. This engine has no facility to plumb in my carb heaters ( its a threaded hold in the block)

Would it be possible to tap into pipework elswhere to get them working again?

I still have the inlet facility (pipe coming from just after the waterpump ) but no outlet.

any input would be welcome as im struggling with carb icing!

Simplest solution is to get a "T" copper pipe fitting (plus jubilee clips and reducers as required) and use that to splice into one of the existing flexible radiator hoses.
