Title: missing carb line. wher does it go?
Post by: bjohn07 on January 27, 2013, 07:18:37 AM

so i pulled the carb out the other day.  messed with the jets and when i put the bowl cover back on i noticed a small barb on it.   there was no line connected to it.   so where is this missing line supposed to connect to?

That's the bowl overflow line...no biggie,your local Kawie dealer/shop should carry plenty of fuel line....just tell them what it's for and get a 2ft piece,then route it with the other lines between the back of the motor,and in front of the lower shock...so that fuel will dump straight out onto the ground if you happen to lay it over.....then cut it to fit.
