Carbie hoses?

Post by Phantom » Tue Aug 17, 2021 11:15 am

Hi all.
I've got a hose question after putting the carbies and tank back on.
Foolish me thought that I would remember where they all go!!
So I have looked at the manual and can't quite figure it out.
I have most of them sorted,and the bike runs really well in the garage but,I have the short hose that is under the fuel inlet on the carbie which I think just vents to nowhere?or is it the overflow from the float bowls which needs to exit behind the gearbox?
And I seem to have lost the tank overflow hose somewhere as well!
Are there any pictures that show the hose layout better than the manual??
Cheers.

I’m wondering the exact same thing, seems to run ok with this pipe just hanging around. Did you get yours sorted?

Hi Garth73!

I wonder whether you have noticed that this topic is about 5 years old ...

Since that the chances of an answer from the original poster are quite small, I'm afraid.

During the day I'll be busy but I'll look for some hose diagram - iirc there should one be here somewhere (if the pertaining picture is still available).

As Holer has already mentioned, this topic is quite a few years old.
I've had a look and the original poster has not visited the forum since Nov 2021, so I don't think you'll get an answer from them.
Holer is your best bet at present, I'm no longer able to check the bikes or the manuals.

A quick search on here for "carburettor* hose*" brought this description:

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=12301&p=120989&hili ... 2A#p120989

If you need more help give us (me) a shout.

Besides that, the float bowl overflow tubes seem to have a hose (each) attached to them as well as the fuel tank.
But I prefer to omit these hoses anyway because I have the fuel rather running on the engine case and not directly on the rear tire with these hoses on.

Free flowing greets from Munich!
