Julie, that's a good theory, but the engine breather hose goes over the top of the carbs, in the frame clip under the frame tube alongside the wiring harness, down behind the plastic air box and joins the contraption under the air filter. The routing is shown on p87 of the dealer manual. I guess this keeps the rubber hose away from the engine heat as much as possible.

My old 400/4 and this one has it routed between the carbs, I will have to re route it but the angle at the bottom before it goes into the air box bit, would be so acute, I would worry it would clamp itself off.Edit...does anyone know if the original factory fitted breather pipe had bends shaped in to it?

I made the mistake of fitting the breather hose after assembling nearly everything else. Getting hands in there to fit it to the plastic gizmo is a nightmare! I thought I would have to remove a few items to make space, but I did manage it eventually, with a few skinned knuckles. The chainguard was off which helped. 🔧👍
So are you saying that they have both numbers on and you just turn them round to show the correct number? eg 1 and 4 are on both sides of the outer insulator
