Carby overflow hose....HELP PLS!!

[dannylightning]

[quote="Fish Baseball"]ok, this black tube just hanging out from the bottom of the carb.


the hose if fine hanging down, there is a spot that the house should be hanging down to tho. the hose should have a cap on the end, if i remember right the bike will not run as well if that hose is not pluged up, you just pull the cap off every month or so and drain out all the junk, if any.

if you dont have a plug for it you should get one. i cant remember why it needs to be plugged but it does.

well Melbourne is about to be hit again with some pretty severe weather, so i won't be testing it today.....the service manual mentions no plug, but experience tells me there is only so much information one can garner from this anyway....have to wait till Monday at the earliest to find out.

You are hosed! :biggrin:

Wrong hose. The one from the bottom of the carb does NOT have a plug.
The one from the bottom of the AIR BOX does need a plug.

The airbox is meant for draining every so often and can cause some possible performance issues if it isn't plugged. The carb hose, however, should not have a plug. Fish, this hose is not a problem for you.

Yes, thankfully. These pictures that somebody e-mailed to me were taken about 30 miles away. Luckily, in our village, we caught the tail end. It still caused a lot of damage, but it was mainly caused by the high winds. The rain was SLIGHTLY less than in the photos, & luckily our barrancos (dried up river beds) were able to handle a lot of it this time. They're still clearing up from the water damage we got during the last cyclone, earlier in the year. That time we got water like in the pictures.

Just realised!..... The cyclone would be called "Cynthia", i.e. the third cyclone this year, not the twenty third. The spelling "Xynthia" that they use over here is the Spanish version, so that the pronunciation stays the same. :bang: :yes:

i was thinking this was about the air box hose, but i was wrong, sorry

Bump. lol I was washing my bike today and noticed this overflow tube was disconnected. I had no idea it was suppose to just dangle there and was kind of worried.

Thankfully, I found the answer on this thread

I was taking the cover off my bike this afternoon to go for a ride and felt this hose hanging there. Didn't want to go for the ride until I figured out if it was a disconnected hose. After reading this post I now know it's fine. The only thing that bothers me now is that it took me this long to notice it. I inspect the bike before every ride, but this tells me I don't look as well as I thought.... O_o

Thanks again!
