carb drain hoses

(1/2) > >>

mlstoner660:
Was wanting to see if any one could take pictures of the drain hoses that come off the Carb? I recently rebuilt my bike and put the motor back in. Its been apart for almost 2 years and I don't remember how the hoses go. I have one that has a plastic t in it that broke and I don't remember how it went. So if any one can post up a picture from both sides of the bike of the way their supposed to be hooked up I would appreciate it.
forgot to mention its a 2000 kx 5

Hey Stoney,
  The vent lines can be routed a number of different ways and still be effective.  The "T" you are asking about
generally is off the right side of the carb.   If you rotate the T 90deg.  clockwise, one leg runs up under the backbone of the frame near the coil.  The other leg drops down with the crankcase vent over the swingarm. 
     The left vent or overflow is usually routed towards the shifter and secured by a small line holder that uses a bolt from the magneto cover to keep it in place.    If this doesn't make sense I'll look for some piccy's.
