Why does my carb vent tube not work?
Some riders have reported that under certain conditions, (high speed following a semi ) turbulant air can upset the jetting. Our theory is that a increase in pressure around the vent tube can upset the fuel mixture.Has anyone else has anyone experienced this, and can comment.
Where does the CARB vent go on an adventure rider?
My box-stock* early model has clear carb-vent tubes that run out and down. The left side one goes right down next to the clutch slave cyl. The right side goes…uh…down the right side. These tubes just vent the float bowls to atmosphere, so gas can move, and provide an exit for overflow therefrom.
Where is the CARB vent tube on a bike?
Where the tube passes through the bottom of the air box I used a 90 degree fitting that was left over from the canister plumbing. Then I used a piece of 5/16″ automotive fuel line, that seems to be kink resistant, and ran it to the left side of the bike then down the side near the clutch hose.
How are carb vent lines sensitive to gas?
These carb are very sensitive to venting. We placed no filters on the lines as they do not breath (constantly suck) and as far as gas spilling in bottom of box we he did not see this as anymore of a problem than the stock vent lines on 03 spilling directly out bottom of box.
