I am looking for the carb diagram for the california to see what vacuum lines do what and to see if I can't bypass the emissions crap.
i removed all of mine. no need to cap anything, it just routs gas vapors from that extra outlet on the bottom of the tank to a charcoal canister. you can then take the hoses & canister out completely.
right on, after I wrote this, I pretty much did that. I'm going to let the breather line between the carbs hang down underneath near the shock so it doesn't leak any gas. As far as the breather hose on your gas tank, did you cap it or just let it hang there???
i removed it completely to clean up the mess. haven't had any probs.
