carbs cleaning an reftting

<< < (5/5)

MikeM:
couple more questions the pipe coming out from the carb .... are these breather tubes and should there be only one ?

I have a spare pipe and not sure if its meant to have one or two of these

LesterPiglet:
Those pipes don't really matter. They just vent to atmosphere. Mine doesn't have any tubes at all.

Ecks:
Assuming it's the black tube you're looking at, wouldn't that be the fuel delivery hose?  If you have an extra hose lying about, it might go to one of the drain pipes that comes out the bottom of the float bowl.  Having hoses on those drains is nice, as without it, any overflow fuel --perhaps from a stuck-open float needle-- would end up pooling on top of the engine.

MikeM:
hI

I have the 4 drain tubes on bottom carb so there sorted.

I have the one thats attached and was never taken off while cleaning ( breather tube or fuel delivery, carbs were stting on the engine when i started ) and another piece of pipe left over same diameter ?
