Title: Carb Drain Hose Size
Post by pgambr on 01/06/15 at 10:32:31

Gents:

I notice the carb hose that drains gas from the bottom fell off. Do you know what size that is? Thanks.

Best regards,

Normally, there's none attached.

The drain only functions if you turn the drain screw.....so you don't need a hose unless you are draining the carb.

And....the only stock carb I have right now has a bolt in the bottom of the float bowl, it does not have a drain screw.....so I can't measure the size of hose you would need if you wanted to add one.

Ok, thanks as well Dave. I thought I was missing something. I could just imagine that bolt loosening up and dripping gas on a lot of stuff.

Don't know if it helps, but the vent tube that was on my old battery fit the nipple on my carb.
