Title: Need help reinstalling carb
Post by cowspotter on 03/24/10 at 17:29:09

I took the carb off to do some service on the bike and apparently didn't pay enough attention when I removed it. I know one hose is the vacuum line for the petcock, one is the fuel line, but i have 2 other plastic hoses coming out of the carb, one on each side that I can't figure out where they go. Here are pics:

My other issue is with the rubber hose that comes off the top of the right side of the engine. This hose had a split in it so I'm going to replace it but where does the other end go and how do I get it out? This is where the hose connects to the engine:

Thanks for the help.

The first two are vent hoses they do not connect to anything, just run them up along the frame.

That other hose gets attached to the air box if I remember correctly.

Correct, that's the crankcase breather hose, goes over the intake to the left side and straight along the intake duct to the airbox, should be a nipple next to the duct.

I feel dumb now that you told me that. For some reason I thought the house just disappeared into the bike and that I would have to remove the battery, air box, and every other part on the frame to get to the other end.

I routed the two vent hoses back along the frame. I'll just wait for the new breather hose tomorrow before I put the seat and tank back on. Then it's just a modified tensioner and I'll be back riding. The return of cold weather and rain makes me happy since I can't ride anyway.

Edit: Of course my return to riding is dependent on my adjusting of the valves being done correctly...We'll see...
