500 four carbs

(1/2) > >>

bobv7:
Between the 2 pairs of carbs where the spring is there are 2 vertical pipe fittings and I don't have anything connected to them. Should I have?

Cheers, Bob

Nurse Julie:
Just vent pipes, no problem if no pipe is fitted but nice if there is.

bobv7:
Ta, Julie

I can't see through the tank so I'll no bother then! ;D

Lobo:
... been too long since I rebuilt my carbs, but in the event of an accident is there a chance of fuel exiting the vent pipes onto the hot engine / battery area etc? Hence the OEM tubing down to the centre stand....
Just a thought. (& appreciating we’re not talking the float bowl overflows here)

Indeed, you are 100% correct Simon. From the safety perspective the tubes should be fitted as Mr Honda intended. I have them fitted on all my bikes but know many that don't bother.
