Title: CA EPA Carb Question
Post by OkChamplin on 09/22/17 at 21:23:25

First off, let me apologize if there is already a post about this. I searched and didn't find much about it.

I bought a 1996 Savage off of a buddy of mine. He stated that the bike would not start as it had sat for a while, and the carb needed to be rebuilt/cleaned. Through this forum I was able to find all sort of info in regards to carb maintenance. It did however take me a little bit to discover what the extra port on the left side was. I believe it is the California model carb.
My question is, should I plug, or cap this port as the rest of the "EPA" system is non existent on this bike?
I appreciate your input as this is my first motorcycle, and I would love to get it running asap. Thanks.

Yes you can just cap it.

Thank you for the quick response. My understanding of that system made me think that would be the solution.

We've seen them lose the oil in the cylinder from sitting.
Bad news for rings and cylinder.
