CA Evaporation control system (Read 74 times)

Can I do away with the carbon canister system and just let the tank breathe normally? I suspect the valve is not working (can't blow air down the pipe towards the canister) don't need it for our regs anyway. Thanks Mark

Several thing you need to do.

1) three lines coming out of the carb and go to the canister. Two on each side vent the fuel bowl. They will need to be re-routed up under the tank (likethe non-CA models do). Third one goes into the carb air stream. That needs to be capped.

2) The Fuel tank has a sealed fuel cap and a small vent line that connects to the tank in the tunnel and goes down to the canister. Two choices here, plug the vent connection, and vent the cap (or buy a vented cap). Second is to keep the sealed cap and run the vent line up high on the handle bars like off-road dirt bikes do.

Engineers design things, Technicians make them work.
