xxexcess 0 Posted January 10, 2007 in the process of doing the plugs and air filter, having taken the tank off (98 carb) i have got a small bore Y shaped hose that goes onto the tank and then goes under the bike, but i still have one part of this Y pipe that doen't seem to connect to anything, any ideas??? is it simply a breather for the tank/overflow?? Oh and the plugs are easy to do with tank off, the original honda plug tool, 1/4 sq drive 10mm socket. thanks iain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airborneXX 18 Posted January 10, 2007 On mine there's the vacuum tube from the cylinder head to BACK of the petcock The fat tube is the overflow and just hangs down, and there's a smaller (same size as the vacuum tube) that also just hangs down from the tank.

If by "BACK" you mean front, you're right on Brett. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damn busted :icon_doh: How's this... don't hook the vacuum line to the port coming out of the bottom of the petcock Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blackhawkxx 2,571 Posted June 11 Did you turn the valve back on and did you connect the vacuum line? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
superhawk996 2,164 Posted June 11 And, even if everything's connected properly gas will only flow while you're cranking so it'll take a moment to re-fill the carbs, if they sat long enough to dry out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XXitanium 1,305 Posted June 11 ...vacuum line pulls and opens the petcock if everything is connected correctly, right? ....great zombie thread revival BTW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Biometrix 445 Posted June 12 Did you put the gas tank back on again? If not, that might be your problem.😉 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
superhawk996 2,164 Posted June 12 Or slightly less obvious; put gas in the tank? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
