Title: What is the best way to eliminate excess plumbing?
Post by: Agno on October 14, 2011, 05:26:51 PM
I have removed the CA emissions charcoal canister from beneath my battery box. But now I'm left with some excess piping at the bottom of my carbs. I figured that I could just ignore it but it drips a bit of fuel. What is the best way to deal with this? Should I remove the tubing altogether and cap the two little ports that feed them or just cap the nipple at the end of the tubing? Open to other suggestions.

Best way to deal with it is to put the bike back to stock. Barring that, you need to cap off the nipple on the carb, because you've created a vacuum leak that's leaning out your engine.

Well seeing as how this is going to be a beater for my girl to learn on and eventually a canyon/track bike, I'm not too concerned about it being perfect. Will capping it cause any weirdness?
